Re: Synthroid & calcium question

[Guest guest]

Tardie,

I think if you always have milk or yogurt with breakfast, continue

doing so. The Synthroid dose that gets you to suppression will

already account for that. The one thing I might be wary of is the

calcium-fortified OJ, especially if it contains a whole lot of excess

calcium.

Just my 2 cents. Oh, and best wishes on your RAI tomorrow!

I understand about not taking your levoxyl/synthroid within 5 hrs

of calcium supplements & why. But does this apply to calcium

rich foods, too? If I take it first thing in the am, does this mean no

milk, yogurt, calcium added OJ until lunchtime.? Since I'll

thankfully be starting thyroxine replacement within a few days,

this pill taking schedule has been on my mind.
