Caffeine: Can block the absorption of thyroid hormone replacements
Processed foods: Often high in sodium
Sugary foods: High in calories but low in nutrients
Excess fiber: Can make hypothyroidism treatment more difficult
Alcohol: Can have a toxic effect on the thyroid gland
Turnips: May increase auto-immune thyroid illness and make it harder for your body to absorb and use thyroid hormone
