Does anyone here know anything about what someone with an over or under-active thyroid can/should eat?
A friend of mine has some condition where his thyroid levels are all over the place. One his symptoms is pretty bad indigestion.
Any dietary suggestions?

Most thyroid problems need to be control by meds.

I don't think there is a specific diet for anyone with underactive thyroid.
There are certain herbal medicines that should be checked by a pharmasist before taking such as Kelp, or any seaweed preparations, anything with a high concentration of iodiene.
It is easily medically treated, usually one tiny tablet a day, the awkward thing is finding the correct dose. This may take several months to regulate but she/he should be fine without any adverse reactions.
Wishing her/him well.
