There are different types of thyroid disorders ranging from hypo or hyperthyroidism to thyroid cancer, each needing different diet restrictions. On a general note, research has shown that green tea and black tea (Green > black) both have goitrogenic and antithyroidal properties. On the other hand, few studies have shown that tea can reduce risk of thyroid cancer. More detailed studies are needed in this area. Hence, it is best to avoid tea or take it in moderation along with regular check on thyroid tests.

Question

I recently found out that I have a thyroid issue, and my TSH level is 89.90. My doctor advised me to take 50 MCG of Thyronorm every morning, just one tablet a day. I'm really concerned about whether this is the right treatment for me. Also, I have a 7-month-old baby, and I'm worried if it's safe for me to take Thyronorm while nursing. Is my condition something I should be seriously worried about, or is there another treatment option that might be better? I'm 28 years old and would really appreciate some guidance.
