Can I eat leeks when I have thyroid nodules

Nowadays, more and more people believe in traditional Chinese medicine, and choose to take Chinese medicine to treat many diseases. In their opinion, Chinese medicine has fewer side effects on the body and can regulate many problems in the body at the same time. Diet therapy is a type of body conditioning in traditional Chinese medicine, which mainly regulates the body through the effects of food. So can people with thyroid nodules eat leeks? Let's learn about the dietary precautions for thyroid patients.

1. Overview

My husband was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism last year. This year, my husband felt that his condition suddenly became serious, so he went to the hospital for a follow-up visit. After examination by the hospital doctor and combined with my husband's clinical symptoms, my husband was diagnosed with thyroid nodules. After treatment, my husband's condition has been controlled and he is now recovering. The doctor at the hospital told us that patients with thyroid nodules should pay attention to their diet. Now I would like to tell you about this in diet and share it with you. At the same time, I hope that what I tell you can help you.

2. Steps/Methods:

1. Patients with thyroid nodules should pay attention to their diet. First of all, they should not eat foods containing iodine, such as seafood. This is because patients develop thyroid nodules due to iodine deficiency in their usual diet. During treatment, doctors have injected iodine into patients. If patients eat too much iodine-containing food, it will cause a conflict with the iodine used for treatment. Therefore, do not eat foods containing iodine and eat more light foods.

2. Patients with thyroid nodules should not eat spicy and fried foods. Spicy foods include peppers, leeks, and onions, and there are even more fried foods. In short, patients should not eat these foods in normal times, as these foods are very harmful to thyroid nodules.

3. Patients with thyroid nodules can eat more foods that can dissolve nodules and reduce swelling during treatment, such as rapeseed and mustard greens. They can also eat more foods that can enhance immunity, such as freshly picked mushrooms and fungus, as well as walnuts and yam. These foods can enhance the body's immune function.

3. Notes:

Patients should go to the hospital for treatment in time when they develop thyroid nodules. Do not delay and cause other diseases. During treatment, you must listen to the doctor's advice and abstain from certain foods, including tobacco and alcohol.
