Can I Use Ananas With Irregular Thyroid Level?
I am 23 years old. I am over weighted and need to lose minimum 20 kilos to be in my normal weight range.
I tried all kinds of diets and nothing worked with me because i love food and easily tempted.
I have removed my thyroid gland from age 17, and i take medication since then (Altroxine). I don't have stable TSH, T3 & T4 results, its usually going crazy from very high (above normal) to very low (below normal) so I change doses regurally from 125 to 200.
I want to give via ananas a try as i feel its perfect for my case, but i am afraid if it has any side effects or if it will effect my hermones because of my thyroid problem i mentioned above.
Please advice.

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
Your thyroid level is irregular. It is fluctuating and it causes hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism. So you need to adjust the dosage accordingly. moreover fruits like ananas is helpful. You can take it. There is no harm or side effects for that. But it has not much role in controlling thyroid hormones. Medicine remains the mainstay of treatment.
Your weight is not reducing because of hypothyroidism. Keep to maintain your TSH level at low normal range.
Hope I have answered your question. If you have any doubts then feel free to ask me. I will be happy to answer.
Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
