I'm sorry you are still having issues with your thyroid and Iodine but if you have not been tested then it is best that you do not start taking supplements or medications for something that you haven't been diagnosed with. Your statement about many Americans being iodine deficient is actually misleading. Unlike in other countries, our table salt (which many Americans use to cook with) contains Iodine as well as many other popular foods such as potatoes, dairy, eggs, strawberries, and cranberries.

Hi Melissa,

I hope you get answers from your doctor soon.
