Background - I've been having GERD type symptoms and difficulty swallowing recently. I found a lump below my adams apple a few weeks ago which changes when I swallow. For the last year I have been eating lots of kale and lately found out I have been using sea salt with no iodine, and avoided milk for about a year. Really I think my iodine consumption was low.
I researched and found when you have a goiter, if it has been under a year or so, you can fix it with iodine supplements sporadically.
I checked into iodine. I found the daily recommended value is 150 micrograms per day.
I looked for supplements and found some that range from 100% to 8,666% per pill. Doesn't that quantity kill thyroid function with a lone dose?????
Secondary - every thread I've seen about this topic goes like this: Opening post: "hey guys, iodine supplements are awesome, I feel wonderful." After this, you get to a post that is like "hey guys, I think I messed up my thyroid function."
Have been eating eggs and using iodized salt recently. Comments according to anyone who has experienced this earlier?
