Subject: taking vitamins during RAI
Date: 06/17/2008

I am due to receive thyrogen shots and RAI in the next week.  My dr. happens to be on vacation and i have no one to answer this question.  can I continue to take my daily vitamins while on thyrogen and RAI?

Also, i can't remember the rules - 2nd round of RAI - do I continue to take Armour while on RAI?

I had to stop my vitamin supplements because they contained iodine.  Check the content. 

If you are doing Thyrogen, then you do not discontinue Armour.  That's the beauty of it all!!!

dinparadise is right. Check your vitamin content for iodine or red dye which contains iodine. The iodine is the only thing to avoid and that's because of the LID protocol. You can eat or drink anything that doesn't contain iodine. RedStar
