I was lucky in that my pathology on my nodule came back as benign after having a hemi in March this year. However I had a blood test after about 7 weeks and it showed my TSH levels higher than the range (6) top of range was 4.5 and I did have symptoms of underactive thyroid - I feel like I have permanent Jetlag and feel quite low and have no energy. GP was good and has prescribed me Levothyroxine starting at 50mg daily which seems reasonable. he told me to take it in the morning and not eat or drink or about an hour afterwards which is fine. However I have read somewhere else that I should take dairy or fortified milk until after 4 hours due to the calcium content in milk. This now puts me in a dilemma as I won't be able to have my usual cereal breakfast. I don't eat diary milk but like coconut milk which is fortified with Calcium (Tri-Calcium Phosphate). Does anyone know if this is correct or is it just calcium in tablet form that should be taken after 4 hours and that foods like milk containing calcium does affect the absorbsion of Levo. Thanks
