diet or recommend dairy products in your everyday diet. The relationship between dairy products and our thyroid is a complex and confusing one, which makes your choices in diet a multifactorial decision. <\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dairy products contain a sugar called lactose. You often hear about people being<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hopkinsmedicine.org\/health\/conditions-and-diseases\/lactose-intolerance\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">lactose-intolerant<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. This means their small intestine does not produce a digestive enzyme called lactase. Without lactase, your body cannot break lactose down so it can be absorbed by your body. This inability to absorb the lactose causes symptoms like bloating, abdominal pain, and uncomfortable situations in the bathroom. <\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Typically, you are born with the ability to produce lactase, but as you get older you lose it. Research shows that lactose by itself does not show any direct benefit or harm to our thyroid\u2019s ability to function, but there are many factors to consider in their relationship. This includes factors such as iodine, calcium intake, lactose intolerance, and dietary modifications and restrictions.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/main>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-7b9ec04 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"7b9ec04\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;jet_parallax_layout_list&quot;:[]}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-cc03fc0\" data-id=\"cc03fc0\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-90ee632 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"90ee632\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">How Dairy Products affect your Absorption of Thyroid Medication<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-e4051f5 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"e4051f5\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;jet_parallax_layout_list&quot;:[]}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-22a190a\" data-id=\"22a190a\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5f74e09 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"5f74e09\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Despite nearly<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.niddk.nih.gov\/health-information\/digestive-diseases\/lactose-intolerance\/definition-facts#:~:text=While%20most%20infants%20can%20digest,world's%20population%20has%20lactose%20malabsorption.\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">68%<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> of the world\u2019s population being lactose intolerant or lactose malabsorption, cow\u2019s milk is a staple in many North American households and is often advised in dietary guidelines.

This leads to painful inflammation of the thyroidal tissue. We know that people with lactose intolerance cannot break down lactose for the gastrointestinal tract to absorb.

Due to this, lactose intolerance is an important factor to consider when prescribing thyroid medication especially in Hashimtoto\u2019s thyroiditis patients.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-89bcf9f elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"89bcf9f\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;jet_parallax_layout_list&quot;:[]}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-623e865\" data-id=\"623e865\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2832c39 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"2832c39\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Can Dairy Products be Beneficial?<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-a50e32f elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"a50e32f\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;jet_parallax_layout_list&quot;:[]}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-e4576c7\" data-id=\"e4576c7\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a80f580 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"a80f580\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While there is no strong evidence to suggest that dairy products increase the risk of thyroid diseases, dairy products are a good source of iodine. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/26004893\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Iodine <\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">is a mineral we need to maintain normal thyroid function and produce hormones. These hormones help regulate<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC9113141\/\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">biological processes<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> such as metabolism and growth. <\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/27358189\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">United States<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, cows\u2019 milk is a primary source of iodine, so does this mean milk and dairy products can also benefit people with thyroid diseases? Potentially. Without iodine, your TSH levels will be higher than normal and you won\u2019t be able to produce enough thyroid hormones. This is when you start showing signs of hypothyroidism which puts you at risk of Hashimoto\u2019s and Grave&#8217;s disease as well as thyroid cancer. <\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some studies argue that consuming dairy products high in iodine is beneficial for thyroid health. Consider that dairy products could help prevent thyroid disorders rather than treat them. However, dairy also contains calcium. High levels of calcium will interfere with iodine\u2019s ability to produce thyroid hormones because calcium is going to bind to iodine. This reduces how much iodine is available to be used to synthesize thyroid hormones. On the other hand, excessive iodine consumption can lead to hyperthyroidism as too many thyroid hormones are produced. <\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So\u2026there needs to be a middle ground or a better iodine alternative. Fortunately, there is an alternative source of iodine.<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC9113141\/\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Salt iodization<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is the recommended public health measure to combat iodine deficiency in North America, primarily in the United States. It also provides ideal amounts of iodine for breastfeeding women and infants. So, we don\u2019t need to rely on dairy products for adequate iodine intake. You can also get iodine from<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/ods.od.nih.gov\/factsheets\/Iodine-Consumer\/\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">foods<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> like tuna, cod, seaweed, eggs, and iodized salt.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-6f5a2a8 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"6f5a2a8\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;jet_parallax_layout_list&quot;:[]}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-d25b2b5\" data-id=\"d25b2b5\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8d2052c elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"8d2052c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, while dairy products are an excellent source of iodine which helps maintain and regulate the production of thyroid hormones, you have other alternatives for iodine intake. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On the other hand, studies suggest that high calcium intake will interfere with thyroid hormone production and absorption, especially in people with iodine deficiency. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This calls for a balanced diet. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can\u2019t have too low or high calcium intake nor can you be iodine deficient or excessive. Your overall dietary pattern plays a major role. <\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To conclude, consuming dairy products that are high in iodine could be beneficial for thyroid health; however, the effects of other nutrients in dairy products, such as calcium, are shown to have a greater risk of worsening your symptoms and negatively impacting thyroid function. This is why it is important to consult with a healthcare professional or registered dietitian for personalized advice on thyroid health and nutrition.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-2a532ff elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"2a532ff\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;jet_parallax_layout_list&quot;:[]}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-20b0bf3\" data-id=\"20b0bf3\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5664688 elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"5664688\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-8341681 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"8341681\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;jet_parallax_layout_list&quot;:[]}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-1f8f0fc\" data-id=\"1f8f0fc\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7574204 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"7574204\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Key Takeaways<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-a11398f elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"a11398f\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;jet_parallax_layout_list&quot;:[]}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-63e2656\" data-id=\"63e2656\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0817eee elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"0817eee\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lactose intolerance means your small intestine does not produce a digestive enzyme called lactase.
