Can you tell if calcium effects med absorbion?

As we all know taking thyroid meds in the morning can be a hassel timing wise to get out the door without starving. Some people set the alarm, take meds, go back to sleep. Wow , If I did that I would just lay there, not sleep, you are lucky if this works!

So I take med upon awaking, then eat I hour later. Unless you stuff your self with fat pills (doughnuts, muffins ect), a lot of breakfast stuff I eat besides fruit has calcium in it. Lactose removed milk still has calcium. Almond milk and yogurt are calcium fortified (thanks a lot!).

So has anyone noticed a difference having calcium fortified food with in one hour after taking their thyroid med?

I tried avoiding all calcium in the morning and then went back to my old ways of having milk with cereal and yogurt. Honestly I cant tell any difference either way, so I wonder if it really maters?

I dont need extra calcium by the way, my physical panel showed I am already in the upper range.

Thanks

I just discussed this with my doctor last week.   He said that the little bit of calcium that you get in the AM (milk in cereal, coffee etc) is too small to make any difference.   What you don't want to do is take the supplements w/in 4 hours.
