Re: Lugols or iodoral for self and son

[Guest guest]

We started my daughter on 6.25 mgs when she was 4 yrs old. We cut the 12.5 mgs Iodoral tablets in half and crushed them and put them in applesauce. It wasn't great tasting but she got them down. We still do it that way and she is 8 yrs old and taking 12.5 mgs. My 10 yr old takes 25 mgs. The "easier on the stomach" is due to the silica coating that allows it to get past the stomach to further in the gut. It doesn't apply if you are crushing. I would add selenium to the mix as well since that is part of the thyroid hormone and iodine usage process. Make sure you are giving some form of Vit C too.

Lugols or iodoral for self and son

Hi, everyone,

I know this is a rock-bottom basic question and is probably asked here all the time, so I apologize up-front for that... I did read the section in the database about types but was somewhat confused.

I went to see a doc yesterday. He felt my neck, said I had an enlarged thyroid and is running tests. Meanwhile, he said start the iodine and L-tyrosine. I was leaning toward Iodoral because I'd heard it was easier on the stomach, but then the database just says it's the pill version of Lugol's. Is there any other difference? Why is a pill form easier on the stomach?

I'm going to be taking (at least for now) 12. 5 mg/day, and he recommended 3-1/4 mg/day for my son (age 4) as maintenance once I mentioned that my son is swimming in a chlorinated pool a lot (and he said he could have picked up some of my thyroid probs in utero). How would you give 3-1/4 mg to a child? A pill would be hard and isn't the Lugol's bad tasting? Just wondering what you guys do with that.

Also, I most likely have depressed adrenals and if there's one version that's better for that, I'd appreciate knowing that as well.

Thanks, everyone,

Angie

Hi ,

In case you don't have Iodoral, you could measure a single drop of Lugol's into

a large glass of water and throw half the glass out. Half a drop of Lugol's

gives about 3-1/4 mg of iodine. Your little one might not object to the taste of

the water; you could try it and see.

Congratulations on having found an iodine practioner doctor!

Best,

I think liquid Lugol's is harder to get a hold of. It's cheaper than Iodoral but tastes nasty too.

Thanks. I had looked at that site.... glad to know I was looking in the right place. How much selenium and vit C for ME at 12.5 mg/iodine/day?

does not complain.

Steph,I know a lot of people talk about the taste, but when I was taking Lugol's I found that I rather like the taste--kind of metallic.

The significance I would assign to it is the need and desire for iodine.

The disease called Pica is often assigned when people eat dirt, but in fact

those people are usually seeking minerals that are missing from our diet

because of the demineralization of our soils. In Africa, pregnant women

eat a wide range of things in the search for the correct nutritional

balance, including clay, but there it is not considered a disease.

I actually had a pharmacist tell me iodoral is much more potent than lugols. So

i used the iodoral now whereas I used to take lugols.

[Guest guest]

Angie,

We did the same as Steph just mentioned, but don’t mix the

crushed pills in applesauce, layer it. It traps the pill in the middle and

doesn’t distribute the taste in the applesauce. So take two spoons. Put some

applesauce on one spoon, put the powdered pill on top, then put more applesauce

on top with the other spoon. An applesauce sandwich! We did this with Nystatin,

which is very bitter, 18 years ago for my 2 year old son. To mix it in the

applesauce ruined the applesauce, but to layer it in the middle kept the taste

of the Nystatin trapped.

Donna in IL

We started my daughter on 6.25 mgs when she was 4 yrs old. We

cut the 12.5 mgs Iodoral tablets in half and crushed them and put them in

applesauce. It wasn't great tasting but she got them down. We still

do it that way and she is 8 yrs old and taking 12.5 mgs. My 10 yr old

takes 25 mgs. The " easier on the stomach " is due to the silica

coating that allows it to get past the stomach to further in the gut. It

doesn't apply if you are crushing. I would add selenium to the mix as

well since that is part of the thyroid hormone and iodine usage process.

Make sure you are giving some form of Vit C too.

Is there any other difference? Why is a pill form easier on the stomach?

I'm going to be taking (at least for now) 12. 5 mg/day, and

he recommended 3-1/4 mg/day for my son (age 4) as maintenance once I mentioned
