Just started Low iodine diet prior to cat scans [thyroid cancer] anyone know if Jello is ok?

Check the label to see if salt is listed on the ingredient list. Also, make sure that no red dye is listed. I am the mom of a teenage thyca patient and just went through this in October. Please do not go by the other post. You need to watch more than just seafood and iodized salt. For better info. go to www.thyca.org and check out the info. on the LID. Also, sign up for the listserv on yahoo for thyca patients. It is very informative. Best of luck to you. I know the hypo stuff is no fun at all!

Yea it is OK. Gelatin is made from animal cartilage add color and sugar = Jello. YUM!
Avoid seafood & iodized salt.
