I was shocked when I went in for a routine physical and discovered that I was hyperthyroid. I had lost some weight, yes, but was trying.
The big difference was that I began eating Activa yogurt wtih bifides regularis bacteria. I loved it and could tell it speeded up my metabolism as I was not constipated. I started losing weight and was thrilled.
Now the blood tests say I have "hyperthyroidism." I'm just wondering if there is a connection and I have a weird side effect. I know yogurt is supposed to stimulate the thyroid because of the iodine, but I'm wondering if my thyroid was overstimulated.
Any thoughts?
Thanks.
