Hello doctor, I have been taking 50 mcg of Synthroid for many years. Today my doctor says my numbers got lower and she wants to increase my level of Synthroid a little. She asked if I take any calcium supplements but I do not. However, I read about things that could affect absorption of Synthroid like dairy, walnuts, and orange juice. All these things, I eat daily for breakfast at least 30 minutes after taking Synthroid. The milk is Lactaid free with 50 % more calcium than milk added. Am I eating the foods correctly with the Synthroid or could they be causing my numbers to change? My doctor is not available until the next week.
Hello. I went through your post. Regards. For more information consult an internal medicine physician online -->
