Ahhh, ... The LID is the low iodine diet, something you, too, will soon

know a lot about :-)

The idea is to remove as much dietary iodine as possible in the 2 weeks before

RAI scan or treatment, in order to maximize RAI uptake. Some doctors

(including my own) don't bother recommending it to their

patients, but the experts who contribute to this list are among those who do

recommend it, and it makes a lot of sense.
