Hyperthyroidism Questions!?

I'm 16 and was diagnosed with Hyperthyroidism 2 years ago. I had gone from 110lbs to about 150lbs in a matter of months (Because my doctors had given me medication to stabilize me, but ended up making me hypothyroid by over doing it) . I had been working out alot and gradually losing weight. I think I weigh about 129lbs now, but I'd like to keep losing weight. I realize that I can only eat certain foods and no iodine. Does anyone have any tips to what will help me lose weight and what is okay for me to eat? Also, after 2 years my throat is still a little swollen, will that ever go down?

Overactive thyroid -
Eat plenty of raw cruciferous vegetables, such as broccoli, cauliflower, brussels sprouts, kale, cabbage, and collard greens, which contain a natural thyroid blocker. Avoid iodized salt and iodine-containing foods, including saltwater fish and shellfish.

How Supplements Can Help -

Vitamin C and the B vitamins riboflavin, (B2), niacin (B3), and pyridoxine (B6) are essential in making thyroid hormone. Because they regulate the immune system and improve thyroid function, they help with both hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism.

An overactive thyroid (or too much thyroid replacement hormone) is actually quite dangerous to the skeletal system and will eventually accelerate osteoporosis. If you have any form of thyroid disease, you should be taking calcium supplementation.

Nutritionally oriented physicians believe that an overactive thyroid will eventually exhaust the adrenal gland (stress gland) system. They often recommend taking a combination product for adrenal support. This may include pantothenic acid, licorice, Siberian ginseng and raw adrenal gland (from sheep or cows).

Vitamins E and A and zinc work as a team to encourage production of thyroid hormone. People taking zinc for more than a month should take copper as well, because zinc slows copper absorption.

well I have been the same as you for four years and my throat is no better either. It is possible to have hashiomoto"s- hypo/ and Graves-hyper at the same time, so what hope do we have, just exercise hard girl. You can actually try a gluten free and dairy free diet as well. good luck

eat 6 small meals a day healthy meals and small at that its going to b very hard since meds have alot to do with it the best way to find out whats ok to eat is to go to a health food store and get a book or two on hyperthyroid and it will tell u.. if u had goiters and had surgery on them then no pain might not ever go away i had surgery 3 yrs ago and mine still hurts and throat is hoarse and will always be good luck
