And don't forget coffee! Many thyroid patients and even their doctors are not aware that coffee can block thyroid medications as well.
Some patients have even had to switch taking their medication before bed, something worth investigating if you have other medications that you take when you first get up, or require coffee to get up.
Also worth looking into is waiting to take your thyroid medication until after your blood draw on days of testing your levels.
