How Do You Limit Your Iodine?

I've been trying to limit iodine and I can't seem to find out exactly where we get iodine, besides iodized salt. Does anybody here know about where we would get hidden iodine in our diet? Not dealing with dh, but my daughter was diagnosed with both Hashimotos Dusase and Graves Disease last spring. She is in her mid-30s and has been both gluten free and diary free for many years. We are looking for better answers in dealing with these conditions than what the doctors are doing, and decided it might be worth trying low iodine, but from looking this up on the net, I'm not sure where we get excess iodine, I read that countries that iodize their salt soon get hit with cases of autoimmune thyroid diseases...so I'm thinking cut out any excess and see if we can get her under better control. Just having trouble knowing where we are getting the iodine from if we don't use iodized salt.

someone told me (so, this is not presented as a scientific fact) (it might have been on this forum) that ibuprofen contains iodine.  so, in the beginning, i was avoiding it until my skin cleared up.  now, i don't have the headaches i used to have or that lovely joint pain, so i probably take 2 per year.  and then my scalp will break out, so i figure it is that...?   or, whatever is making me have a headache bad enough to take a pain reliever makes my scalp break out, lolz...

When I was doing low iodine I researched like mad. These are the other things I found that had higher iodine content:

The skin of potatoes

Greens - ie: mustard, collard, turnip

asparagus

spinach

the skin of peanuts

raisins

carrageenan or it's other names -- they are all sea algae/seaweed/kelp

beans sich as kidney, pinto

Those are all I recall right now besides what Is listed on thyca.org

The thing is that there is iodine in the soil & plants take up a certain amount of iodine -- different plants, different uptake rates. AND different areas of the country, even different soils contain differing amounts of iodine. My soil may contain a good deal more than my next door neighbors soil.

I hope this helps. It says thiamin supplements may help.

I don't think doctors think about vitamin deficiencies.

      Welcome to the forum, @Bebee, Yes, Celiac Disease has genetic commonalities with MS, hypothyroidism, arthritis, Reynaud, and rosacea.   Usually a gluten challenge is done before endoscopy with biopsies taken,  however I would not recommend a gluten challenge before endoscopy with biopsies for you since you have been gluten free for so long and have so many concurrent autoimmune diseases.   You can still have the endoscopy with biopsy samples taken now.  After several months with dietary changes, you can have another to compare results and check that intestinal health has improved.   You can get a genetic test for Celiac disease which shares genetics with other autoimmune diseases that you have.  Eating gluten is unnecessary for genetic tests. For the rosacea, get checked for SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth) that could be causing gastrointestinal symptoms as well as causing skin issues.  Our skin is a reflection of our gastrointestinal health.     Following the Autoimmune Protocol Diet has been helpful in keeping my own rosecea, eczema, and dermatitis herpetiformis and other autoimmune diseases in check.   Be sure to be checked for nutritional deficiencies that occur easily in gluten free and dairy free diets. Keep us posted on your progress! References: Clustering of autoimmune diseases in patients with rosacea https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26830864/ And...

      I am new here, I have been diagnosed with Microscopic Colitis (Lymphatic) years ago and have been gluten-free, DF since, but I still can have occasional bouts of diarrhea (still trying to figure that out).  I also have MS, Hypothyroid, Arthritis, Reynaud's and my rosacea has been acting up lately.  What treatment is suggested to help with rosacea?  I would like to know too if there is a test for celiac if you have been gluten-free?   Thank you, Barb

      Well, that's interesting. I am lactose intolerant and have been managing that for years. I'd be interested in seeing if that changes once I feel better from not eating gluten (one thing at a time for now, though). Helpful to hear about the avenin. I will do some digging and pose that to the dietitian. Grateful for your feedback.
