Hi all :)
I've been so busy lately I haven't had a chance to research this on the net or had a chance to call my doc about it so I was wondering if any of you know anything.
I was reading some sort of health magazine the other day that was talking about the health benefits of seaweed. In the fine print of the article, it mentioned that if you have "a thyroid condition" you should check with your doctor first. Why? What sort of effect does seaweed have on the thyroid?
I'm curious because I do have "a thryoid condition" and recently had a seaweed bath at a spa. It was wonderful, but afterwords I felt sick to my stomach (didn't actually throw up but sure felt like I could) and then I developed one of the worst headaches I've ever had in my life! I didn't know about seaweed and "thryoid conditions" at the time but now this makes me wonder if it was the seaweed that made me so sick?
