Home care for Hashimoto's thyroiditis includes: - Avoid alcohol.
- Eat a healthy heart diet:
- Avoid or limit consumption of brassica vegetables:
- This includes cabbage, brussels sprouts, broccolli, cauliflower, kale, kohlrabi, rutabaga, pak-choi, and turnips.
- These vegetables contain compounds that may interfere with iodine uptake in the thyroid gland.
- For those who are not iodine deficient, receive adequate iodine in the diet, and are cooking these vegetables prior to consumption, this rarely presents a problem.
- Consult your doctor for guidance.
- Limit consumption of soy-based foods:
- They can interfere with the production of thyroid hormone.
- Consult your doctor for guidance.
- Follow an exercise plan developed with your doctor.
- Take vitamin A supplements
- Take vitamin C supplements
- Take vitamin E supplements
- Take vitamin B supplements
- Take prescription medications as directed.
