Hi I am new to the group so if there is a FAQ please point me to it.
I am interested in the iodine content of certain foods, as I have to
avoid them (thyroid treatment). Particularly i am interested in Quorn
or Mycoprotein.
Thanks
Michelle

COMMENT:

Look, you're not on an iodine restricted diet for any good medical
reason UNLESS it's a temporary thing as they're preparing to give you
radioiodine. Temporary is the key. And in which case the doc preparing
to do it should have provided you with a low iodine diet. Why not eat
it?

If you really can't figure out how much iodine you're getting from
exotic foods you simply MUST continue to eat, then you can always have
your doc do a urine iodine test. That's a pretty good index of whether
or not you're getting so much iodine from food sources as to intefere
with radioiodine treatment.

The guidelines I got are very vague, most of the info I have found
myself. Maybe I am being a bit obsessive about it.  The diet is
temporary, but if it helps the RAI therapy work better then I will do
anything to help my chances.  The Urine test is will be done to, it
always is. Thanks
