onions, potatoes,LID ... (was Re: Guacamole and chips ne)

[Guest guest]

Hi,

I guess we are all hearing different things about the LID. My Nuclear

doc said to avoid iodized salt, seafood, soy sauce, broccoli, spinach,

kale, turnip greens, breads made with iodate dough conditioners, food

containing red dyes, such as red or pink cereals, candies or vitamins,

medicines(yellow/red capsule tylenol), restaurant foods.

He is to limited eggs( even though I only eat egg whites) and milk or

other dairy products, including ice cream, cheeses, yogurts, etc....this

is from a list he gave me.

I would like solid answers on sweet potatoes or yams, regular potatoes,

blueberries, I am a vegetarian so I am trying to get my protein in a

few different places. I am eating quinua pasta in salads or in homemade

veggie soup. I am eating oatmeal or egg whites for breakfast...I munch

on no salt almonds, dried plain apples, prunes, regular apples,

bananas... Please....can someone help me if I am on track.

I go in for RAI ( I think it is 50mci) isolation on Oct. 15th and I

REALLY WANT IT TO WORK!!!!!!

Thank you!

This is all very reasonable.

Broccoli, spinach, kale, etc., are goitrogens, which can block the uptake

of iodine (a good thing while on the LID, but not so good when you're

ingesting RAI). Restaurant foods are just too risky in terms of the hidden

ingredients they may contain.

Wouldn't we all!

Until today, I've never seen sweet potatoes or blueberries even hinted at

as a problem.

As I said in my other letter, white potatoes seem to get mixed advice;

some say they're fine, some say no skins, some say omit them altogether. I

have been unable to get any kinds of numbers on them, including from the

various potato councils. The only number I could find (35 mcg/3.5 oz

potato) was at the web page of The Hot Potato, a restaurant chain.

http://www.thehotpotato.com/english/nutrition.htm.

OTOH, many of us eat white potatoes on the LID and do just fine, so go

figure.

I basically follow Dr. Ain's LID, omitting or limiting even some allowed

foods (such as potatoes and legumes) for the last 4 days.

If it doesn't work, I can't imagine that you'll have your LID to blame :-)
