Hi all. My husband has just been diagnosed with Thyroid cancer he just had his thyroid removed 2 days ago in about 3-4 weeks he will have to have a radioactive Iodine treatment. He needs to start a diet of no Iodine. Has anyone gone thru this before or know of anyone who has? I need some food ideas and recipes I can make for him while doing this diet. I know the foods to stay away from (pretty much everything prepackaged...frozen...dairy) just hoping someone who has gone thru this may have some ideas. Thank you so much for any help you can give!
I hope your husband is doing better. I had my thyriod and lymph nodes removed back in 2003 from thyroid cancer. However, my endocrinologist was not he best and it took 4 months before I had the radioactive iodine treatment. Nor did he tell me about the diet. Here is a link that I found afterwards with diet info and recipes.

Had my doc been better and had I researched more, I would not have gained so much weight as I did from not being on any medicine for so long. Good luck.
