7 Real-Life Tips to Relieve Hypothyroidism Symptoms

Constipation is yet another common symptom of hypothyroidism, according to the Mayo Clinic. One solution is to make sure you get enough fiber in your diet, Nadeem says. Good sources of dietary fiber include whole-grain cereals, wild rice, barley, oats, whole-wheat pasta, and fruits and vegetables such as carrots, tomatoes, celery, and berries. To get her daily fill of veggies and fiber, Tremblay makes a drink from red chard, beet tops and a portion of a beet, carrots, spinach, fennel, spirulina, chia seeds, and flaxseeds, with a bit of orange juice (ideally fresh or not pasteurized). “It’s delicious,” she says. Talk to your doctor about how much fiber you’re consuming, as too much fiber intake may affect your body’s ability to absorb your thyroid medication.
