Is there a diet I should follow when diagnosed with a thyroid disorder?

There is no specific ‘thyroid diet’ recommended for people to follow when they are diagnosed with a thyroid condition. There are, however, certain foods and supplements that can interfere with thyroid function and the way the body absorbs levothyroxine in people with hypothyroidism. These include kelp, soya, iron and calcium.
