Green Tea And Thyroid Disorders

Someone mentioned green tea as being a no-no for people with thyroid disorders. I couldn't find anything on the internet; if anything, I kept finding sites recommending green tea for people with hypothyroidism!

Anybody have any links to articles and/or studies?

Thank you!

Green tea has L-theanine. I have not read anything about its connection with the thyroid. Its supposed to reduce stress and anxiety.In Japan they put it in softdrinks and a lot of other foods. I had a bad reaction (palpatations)to some L-theanine called suntheanine (brandname) when I tried to swich from my Dr.'s brand. Maybe something else in the green tea is not good for the thyroid.

It is probably the high flouride content in tea that can bind to the thyroid hormone and make it unusable. I'm not a huge green tea drinker, maybe just a cup or two a day, and I haven't found it bothers me.

      I hadn't been eating gluten free before having the antibody test done. I started eating gluten free after having the test done because the gastro PA told me to eat gluten-free for 6 months. I'm now 3 months in.

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      By trents · Posted

      I tend to agree with RMJ. Your doc took the reasonable and practical approach to diagnosis. All things considered, it was the right way to go. However, if you have first degree relatives that show signs of possible celiac disease, urge them to get formally tested before they start the gluten free diet.

      It sounds like you have a very reasonable GI doctor, who diagnosed you based on family history and symptoms after eating gluten. I would consider you lucky! The other option would be to make yourself very sick by doing weeks of a gluten challenge prior to an endoscopy.
