Patient's question:
Hello doctor, can people with hypothyroidism eat shrimp? My daughter and others brought some shrimp back from the coast, and they look very hungry.Doctor's answer:
You have hypothyroidism, which indicates that your thyroid function is reduced and cannot produce and excrete enough hormones, leading to a slowdown in the body's catabolic metabolism. Your diet should be based on light, nutritious, and easily digestible foods. You can eat shrimp, which are rich in protein. It is recommended to consult the endocrinology department of your hospital for follow-up. Under the guidance of a doctor, use medication to supplement thyroid hormones. Regularly check your thyroid function to keep hormone levels under control.
