I have 'low thyroid' ... I recently read on-line that dairy products can have an affect on the supplements I take, but I couldn't find out more. I know I could do a search, but want to hear from others like me as to their experiences with dairy and supplements, too.

I am also on thyroid supplements. Never heard of dairy interferring with it. Was the website where you saw this reputable or another one of the all-too-many fear mongering sites? I would suggest you ask your pharmacist where you get your prescript. filled, or do a web search on the actual name of your thyroid med. to see if dairy is listed as something to avoid.

The only thing I can think of is that milk contains calcium and you should not take thyroid meds within 4 hours of taking calcium.
