Psyllium and Thyroid Meds

[CatMatt]

My question is about my morning routine. I'm supposed to take my thyroid meds on an empty stomach an hour before I eat anything else. I think I'm okay taking them with the lemon water, but I'm concerned with the Psyllium Life cocktail. On my Psyllium container, it says something about avoiding taking it with prescription meds. How important is that step? Or can I do that one later in the day? Thanks. Cate

Hi CattMatt,

Welcome to the Forum!

This question comes up often... I am on thyroid meds too and what I do is make what we call a Super Smoothie which just means adding your psyllium (or ground flaxseeds) to your smoothie instead of having a Long Life Cocktail. Not only do you not have to worry about interfering with your meds, but you'll be saving a bunch of time during your time-crunched morning!

Hope this helps! Do post often so we can continue to answer your questions and cheer you on!
