- Commercial products

[Guest guest]

Hi -

I'll be going off my cytomel next Monday 11/26. I was wondering if you

would send me the commercial products list. We had talked about it before

but I didn't need it yet. Thanks

Hi ,

I know you'll be getting lots of great tips from the group.

I have been assembling a list of commercial products which are acceptable on

the LID; I tried to send it to you privately, but it was returned. If you

send me another address, I will be happy to

try sending it again. (Of course, I'll be happy to send the list anyone

else who wants it - just ask!)

But, to answer your questions, egg whites are fine, since the iodine is

almost totally concentrated in the yolk. Milk and butter/margarine, are

the biggest deprivations for many of us,

especially since

there are no passable substitutes. Every margarine I have seen has salt

and/or soy, and Crisco

also has soy. There are lots of " bread spreads " that can be used instead -

flavored oil, mustard, guacamole, humus, honey ... just about anything

that's spreadable will do the trick.

Some easy snacks - popcorn (home made, or salt free), SF pretzels, potato

chips (check for soy oil). Rice cakes. Corn chips with home made guacamole

or salsa.

Most flavors of Jell-O are acceptable, including the ready made ones in

plastic cups; most sorbets are acceptable, too.

Good luck with the diet, and feel free to ask for more suggestions.
