Hi and thank you for asking on HCM!
I read carefully all your concerns and I can say as follows :
May I know the thyroid test of your mum?(TSH,FT3,FT4)
Weight loss is a common hyperthyroidism symptom, so eating enough protein can help ensure you stay at a healthy weight.
Don’t eat meat? Meat is avoid .No problem—your mum can get protein from beans and nuts. Just try to eat protein at every meal.
Broccoli is part of the goitrogen family—foods that can decrease the amount of thyroid hormone your thyroid gland produces.
Salmon contains vitamin D—an essential nutrient that works with calcium to prevent bone loss. Salmon also carries a megadose of omega-3 fatty acids that keep you healthy.
To prevent osteoporosis that is seems during hyperthyroid we recomandation 3 servings a day of calcium from yogurt or other dairy foods, such as cheese and milk.
Hyperthyoid is treated with prescription medication, so see your doctor immediately to discutatiion for mum symtoms,
But by eating certain foods, your mum can limit some mild hyperthyroidism symptoms.
Iam not sure if your mum taking the right dose of neomarcazol?
My advise is to repeat the thyroid tests:TSH,free T3 and free T4 and bone density, than to consult an endocrinologis ..
Hope I have answered your question. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help.
Best regards
