Low Iodine Diet Help - Please!

[CommMajor101]

Hello everyone,
I am having a very difficult time finding appetizing foods that have non iodized salt or stick to other rules within the diet. Has anyone been on this diet and find some really good foods that stick to the rules? I don't have a whole lot of time every day to cook, so I need something that's relativity easy.  Thanks in advance!

I'm with you, diet is very annoying, just thinking about having to start it again in 12 days just ticks me off. and liz94, I just looked at the cookbook and it says 6 ounces is okay per day so you should be fine. happy junk food to anyone who is near the end and happy soon to eat junk food to anyone starting, cheese cheese, wonderful CHEESE!!!!!!

The worst part of the diet is that NO ONE gets it at all when you try to explain what you can and can't eat.  The dining facility at my work told me "we don't use iodine"...um, yeah, that is not what I am asking you!  Does it contain dairy, soy, iodized salt, etc. etc.  Most annoying diet ever.  Period.  The End.

Hi, all.

I don't know if Hashimoto's hypothyroidism should have a low iodine diet or not? I have too many seafoods as well as iodized salt.

Thank you.

It was on the handout from the doctor.

Huh, I didn't receive any heads up like that from my doctor. Was he the one who told you to limit it or was it from the cookbook?

I was told only 5 ounces of organic meat per day.  I think I may have cheated on that aspect and had 6 because I was so freakin hungry.
