Guest guest Posted September 11, 2006 Report Share Posted September 11, 2006 I am interested in the iodine supplements.......but am allergic to iodine. I developed this allergy only a few years ago..... cannot eat shrimp anymore as it has caused my throat to swell and try to close. Also, cannot use face creams with quionine (msp) either......... I'm wondering why would someone have allergic symptoms to something that they would need in their body. According to the Naturopath I do have some thyroid issues.......... but when my MD tests my thyroid it comes back normal so I'm thinking my body may need some iodine. Thanks for the suggestions on the supplements........... Dee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 11, 2006 Report Share Posted September 11, 2006 You can never take something because you think you need it---always get tested and it's a simple urine test-- Being allergic to iodine is a very serious condition and you should never take it--- http://www.emedicine.com/EMERG/topic25.htm --- In gallstones , " ladybug35@...
