low iodine diet
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
