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.

      Manitol and mri

      By RMJ · Posted

      I’m having this type of MRI this afternoon,  What specifically do you want to know?  From what I’ve read, not all facilities use the same drink prep.

      Manitol and mri

      By nanny marley · Posted

      Hi I've been told I need a MRI on my bowels , I was booked for a colonoscopy, but because of my sever back issues and trapped nerve it can't be done , the nurse told me I will have to have a manitol drink a hour before the scan , I'm just a bit worried has I have issues with sweeteners like even a little,  I get a weird throat and ears and I've read it is a similar substance , not sure if anyone has had one of these scans or could give me some advise on the drink prep thanks in advance 😄

      Celiac attack confusion and anxiety

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Hi all ! Can a celiac attack be so intense that it causes your entire body to work in reverse? Meaning really bad pain,  neuropathy and muscle,  jaw pain,  the stomach issues , Horrible anxiety and confusion??  I had a Tums and you would think I ate poison. My jaw and stomach did not like it . Not the norm for me. Things that are simple are just out of control. Anyone ever have this happen??  I'm trying to figure out what I ate or did to bring on a celiac like attack. I had an idea before but yesterday I didn't have any gluten unless it was in a medication ?! Any positive suggestions ??  Thank you

      Gluten free stuff

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product's ingredient label like this: Allergens: Wheat.
