my husband has graves and his doctor has a list of things that are high in iodine to avoid. believe it or not…milk products. the industry standard is to clean the utters and machinery with iodine. also, no sea salt or seaweed. you can use kosher salt instead. there are a lot of vegetables that contain high amounts of iodine also such as aspargus, broccoli, white onion, corn, brussel sprouts. also, potato skin contains high amounts of this as well. be careful with seafood products, such as, squid, crab, sole. there are many others if you look on the cdc’s website for vegetable and fruit nutirition guidelines. i am not a doctor so the best thing would be to talk directly with yours to come up with a plan that works best for you. also, everything in moderation after your levels are in normal range is a good way to look at it. i hope i helped a bit.

thank you both so much for the input ” title=”Smile” /> yes, i will take the prayers!!!!! he definitely is not able to connect the 2 things, he has been this way for a long time. its been very hard. i really have tried talking to him but hopefully the closer this gets to being under control the easier it will be for him to see his behavioral changes. the hardest thing is seeing him go through this. we have been together for 12 years so i know the man that i fell in love with is still there, but his anger makes it difficult to remember that sometimes. hopefully he will get better and we will both get through this and end up stronger for it. thanks again for your support.
