can I take Collagen Peptides and Whey Protein Isolate with my Thyroid meds?

can I take collagen peptides or whey protein shakes in the morning after I've waited an hour of taking my levothyroxin and cytomel? does the amino acids interfere with these medications? Also, can the cytomel cause bloat/gas issues? Thanks!

Soy protein powders should not be used, as they can interfere with absorption of thyroid medication.  Other protein powders should be okay, if used in moderation. It's best to talk to your doctor...

Cytomel is not known to cause bloating/gas issues.
