Can you help me by suggesting protein sources to use during this time.  I have to avoid, soy, dairy, fish, iodized salts.  I have been living on peanuts. peanutbutter and matza's and a little bit of chicken..  I only have to do this for 3 weeks but it seems much longer.  I have to do this because I had thryoid cancer and have to go thru the radioactive iodine treatment..They provide recipes but I want something easy I don't need a meal for a family... just me..

Help if you can... thanks

Here's a couple links from the Thyroid Cancer Survivors Association website that may be helpful - http://www.thyca.org/rai.htm Link to Low Iodine Cookbook (in .pdf format) -> http://www.thyca.org/Cookbook.pdf And one more link to information from the National Institutes of Health http://www.cc.nih.gov/ccc/patient_education/pepubs/lowio.pdf Hope some of this is helpful, and good luck with your treatment!   Kellie
