In reply to therabbitrunner. Eating large quantities of goitrogenic foods can increase risk of goiter formation in those with hypothyroidism. Unless she's eating TONS, I'm sure she's fine. :)

Thanks for sharing all of this info! It’s so good for people to see that way they can be aware of the signs and symptoms to watch for. I’d never heard of goitrogenic foods before, but I’m sure it will help me to know this stuff at some point in my life.

That halibut looks amazing! What a gorgeous dish!

Very nice close-up of Lily. That Grilled Halibut Cod with Peach and Pepper Salsa looks scrumptious. Now, if I can just convince myself to get back in the kitchen.

Thanks for this post! I’ve been doing a lot of research on hypothyroidism and natural cures lately and came across several articles about goitrogenic foods yesterday. I’ve been having having many symptoms of hypothyroidism mainly insomnia, extreme exhaustion, inability to concentrate, forgetfulness, weight gain, intolerance to cold, etc. My PCP said my TSH levels are high, but still within a normal range; however since it was his nurse who called me she was unable to tell me specific numbers because she is not an MD. From what I’ve read there is much debate as to what is “normal” so for now I’ve just been trying to keep a journal of how I feel each day, how I sleep, and taking my temperature each morning (I read low body temperature can be an indicator to hypothyroidism) and plan to see an endocrinologist in the next week or two. In the meantime, I just have to struggle through the extreme exhaustion which I’ve had for several months.
