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.

      Isolated DPG-Iga

      By trents · Posted

      So, I contacted Scott Adams, the author of that article and also the creator/admin of this website, and pointed out to him the need to clarify the information in the paragraph in question. He has now updated the paragraph and it is clear that the DGP-IGA does serve the purpose of circumventing the false negatives that IGA deficiencies can generate in the tTG-IGA antibody test.

      Lymph nodes

      By Soleihey · Posted

      Has anyone experimenced enlarged lymph nodes with celiac? Both in the neck and groin area. Imaging of both areas have said that lymph nodes are reactive in nature. However, they have been present for months and just wondering how long this may take to go down. Been gluten-free for about two months. Blood counts are normal.

      Hmm interesting I just assumed that any “IGA” tests including the DPG iga would be negative in a person who is IGA deficient but maybe that is not the case for the DPG test.

      If you were just diagnosed I can say that if you go 100% gluten-free should should see dramatic improvement of your symptoms over the next few months, but the hard part is to stay gluten-free. This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):
