Diet for hyperthyroidism
Hi doctor,
I've been diagnosed with hyperthyroidism and my weight has been decreasing rapidly. I lost around 5 kgs in the last 3 months while there is always an appetite to eat something.
I'm also anxious most of the time and have diarrhoea.
I'm requesting you to please suggest me food items to eat and to avoid to increase my weight.
Thank you.

Hi, I hope you have already consulted and Endocrinologist and have started taking your medicine. Medicine should help your Thyroid gland slow down which would eventually stop your diarrhoea issue. Because during your situation, the Thyroid gland is overactive and that causes Diarrhoea.
As far as diet is concerned, nothing specific is advised in your case. But try and avoid Alcohol and caffeine products. If you want a specific Diet Chart, please reach out to me directly by Practo App.

Healthy afternoon sir,
There is no specific diet but, are numerous minerals and vitamin and nutrients you can eat to help you balance your thyroid hormone. B vitamin, selenium, and iron are few of them
Limit your intake of iodine, soy, and othe foods that aggravate the symptoms.
Health Tips
Dietary tips:
Limit on Brazil nuts
Avoid consuming soy in high
Refrain from egg yolk and stick egg whites
Crucifers vegetables should be eaten and cooked moderation
A low iodine diet should be prescribed.
Certain foods like, whole wheat, fresh fruits, vegetables and lentils, contain valuable nutrients that can help keep your thyroid hormone level balanced and improve thyroid function.

Hi Good morning !
It's a hormonal disorder and this needs to be fixed well with diet and fitness.
Do not worry you tend to lose weight in hyperthyroidism because your metabolism goes against your body. Proper nutrition required for thyroid function is essential.
You need to know the root cause of it.
Next Steps
connect directly over the practo app personally because this requires a lot of changes in the diet.
