What Foods Interfere With Synthroid Absorption?
Hello, Do you have a food list available for people taking Levothyroxine? I am vegan and rely on soy products and almond milk that has a high amount of calcium. I also need to pay attention to foods with iron. I m trying to make lists of food I can eat for breakfast while four hours pass and I can eat these products for the lunch time hour and later. Thank you.
