I'm curious about whether it's okay for someone with a hypothyroid condition to drink Ragi malt or Ragi Java. Could consuming ragi millets have any adverse effects on hypothyroidism?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Ragi malt or Ragi Java can be safely consumed by most people with hypothyroidism, but like any food, its best to eat it in moderation. If you consume ragi or other millets frequently, it may be a good idea to monitor your thyroid levels regularly with your doctor and ensure youre getting enough iodine. Ensure a well-balanced diet, and consider reducing your intake of other goitrogenic foods if you are concerned about the impact on your thyroid.

View allI'm a bit worried about my recent thyroid function test results. They did the tests on 04062016 and my T3 level came back as 1.09 ngml, which I know falls somewhere within the normal 0.72-2.02 ngml range. But here's where I get confused my T4 was 8.38 ugdl and TSH was 5.61 uIUml. I understand that T4 seems to be okay within the normal 4.3-12.5 ugdl range, but my TSH level is above the normal 0.4-4.2 uIUml range. Do you think I should start medication based on these results? I'm anxious about what this might mean for my health.

I've been diabetic for 10 years and my doctor recently told me to lose weight because my diabetes is worsening. Would weight loss surgery help control my diabetes better? What are the potential risks if I decide to go for it?
Weight loss surgery can be helpful in obese diabetic patients. Most of our patients were able to come off their diabetes medications following weight loss. It is difficult to comment on whether you would benefit from weight loss surgery as i do not have any details about the type of your diabetes, medications and your weight. You may want to consult a qualified diabetologist.
