Hello and thank you for asking! First i wanted to inform you that kelp takes high iodine intake that in your case is not helpful. In Hashimoto thyroiditis the thyroid is destroyed and can not use iodine to produce it's hormones that is why they are taken orally. So i would recommend to continue the treatment with levothyroxine and would define kelp as ineffective in your case.
