Guest guest Posted October 20, 2005 Report Share Posted October 20, 2005 Funny thing happened to me back in 1997. I had toenail surgery and was directed by the podiatrist to do twice a day foot soaks in betadine that he gave me. In previous yrs, I had done betadine douches on occasion, plus had used mercuracone (sp?) to disinfect wounds, even as a child. It never bothered me during those yrs, but I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism (which I would find out later was caused by Hashi's antibodies) in 1993, and had not used any medicinal iodine since way before that. The first time that I put my two feet into that mild solution of betadine and warm water (about a half ounce for an entire gallon of water), my feet began to burn clear up to where the water came up on my ankles, just like someone had put a branding iron on me. The water was warm, not hot. After going through this twice, I called the doctor and told him. He said, and I quote, " You're definitely allergic to the iodine, use acetic acid instead. " I forget what it was called, but the acetic acid was in a powder form and never bothered my skin at all. Since then, I've not been able to use iodine at all, but I never associated what I was sprinkling on my food with it, until a couple of yrs ago, at which time I switched to Baleine Noniodized Sea Salt. Says it has no iodine in it at all. I'm wondering how much the iodine allergy has to do with Hashi's antibodies. It's a mystery, huh? I read, then skimmed the rest of this article, but it seems that nothing ever addresses the mysteries of iodine and Hashi's antibodies to the thyroid hormone.

Guest guest Posted October 20, 2005 Report Share Posted October 20, 2005 Read the other link I posted form Thyroid manager..it states something like 10% of those with Hashi's have an antibody to Iodine..it is something called -NIS? I know now I can tell when I do a slip and digest Iodine..I have always been allergic to MSG so maybe that has something to do with it too? Kats3boys > > Funny thing happened to me back in 1997.
