Re: Flax and Hypothyroid | | Hi Des,
I'm not sure about the flax but your question got be wondering if maybe that's what is wrong with me lately. I have been eating alot of flax 5-6 days a week for a month or two now and never considered that it could be contributing to both my major slowdown in weight loss AND the symptoms of my thyroid condition returning. (Cold, exhuasted, cloudy headed and SLOW are my symptoms.)
Oddly enough, I had my bloodwork tested just lately and my TSH was just fine - but I do have the symptoms again! But he wouldn't adjust my Synthroid levels up from 125 mcg based just on symptoms.
After just the bit I've read in this thread, I'm convinced that it could be a staller for alot of people, so I'm cutting out flax for a few weeks to see if things change for me. If doing this makes my thyroid symptoms disappear, I'll be sure to post back here & let you know!
