AVOID Caffeine If You Take Thyroid Medication
What do coffee, energy drinks, and caffeinated tea all have in common? They all interfere with thyroid medication and can make managing your thyroid symptoms more difficult.
Here are two reasons why they should be avoided:
1. Caffeine has a stimulatory effect on the gastrointestinal tract which can negatively impact thyroid medication absorption.
And because caffeine has a half-life of 5 hours, it stays in your system for 25 total hours which means this effect occurs pretty much no matter when you take your thyroid medication and when you drink coffee or caffeine.
2. Caffeine has a stimulatory effect on adrenal function which can cause problems with cortisol. Because of the thyroid-cortisol connection, this can make you reliant upon caffeine for energy and make thyroid-related fatigue worse.
Bottom line? Avoid caffeinated drinks including tea, coffee, energy drinks, and soft drinks.
Your body and thyroid will thank you!
