    Need to learn what foods to use in a diet to help with hashimoto disease and goiter

    Hi, Teresa. Hopefully you are being followed by a healthcare provider familiar with your case. If you are taking thyroid replacement hormone, it is important that the doses are balanced to optimize your thyroid levels (otherwise, weight management is very, very difficult).
    Most foods are fine, but there are a few to avoid (known as “goitrogens”), and the advantage of the Menu Planner application is that you can build menus that don’t include these or that include them in very small amounts.
    Cruciferous vegetables and soy-based foods generally have the highest levels of so-called “goitrogenic” compounds.
    CRUCIFEROUS VEGETABLES
    Bok choy
    Broccoli
    Broccolini
    Brussels sprouts
    Cabbage
    Canola
    Cauliflower
    Chinese cabbage
    Choy sum
    Collard greens
    Horseradish
    Kai-lan (Chinese broccoli)
    Kale
    Kohlrabi
    Mizuna
    Mustard greens
    Radishes
    Rapeseed (yu choy)
    Rapini
    Rutabagas (swedes)
    Tatsoi
    Turnips
    SOY-BASED FOODS
    Soy beans
    Soy nuts
    Soy milk
    Soy milk products (i.e. yogurt)
    Tempeh
    Tofu
    Edamame
    OTHERS WITH LESSER BUT STILL SIGNIFICANT AMOUNTS
    Peanuts
    Strawberries
    Flax
    Peaches
    Millet
    Sweet potatoes
    Pears
    Spinach
    Pine nuts
    Bamboo shoots
