What does the medication's label say? Or ask a pharmacist. What is a bactaria drink???? Sounds nasty.

Some thyroid disorders can be cured, but many require lifetime treatment. Learn here https://tr.im/jG6ou
For example, sometimes early stage thyroid cancer can be cured by surgery to remove the thyroid gland, but you will need to take thyroid hormone medication afterwards for the rest of your life. Goiters can also be surgically removed and do not always recur after surgery. In most cases, thyroid disorders need treatment over a lifetime. However, with treatment most people with thyroid disorders can live normal, healthy lives.

I take levothyroxine too (125mcg) and take it with Breakfast - it is best taken in the morning as you are presumably doing (you mention cornflakes etc). From what I know there is no reason why you shouldn't take thyroxine with food or afterwards - as I have done for several years

Thyroid hormone replacement pills should be taken at least 30 minutes before breakfast.

It makes no difference what you eat. One you are on the correct dose of levothyroxine you are no different from the person next to you. Just behave normally!

thyroxin should be taken on an empty stomach, you can eat after 30mins, if you eat with them the thyroxin isnt helping you as it should.
