Is Honey Intake Advisable While Suffering From Hypothyroidism?
How does raw honey affect hypothyroidism? I have not been diagnosed but I meet some of the criteria. Honey seems to make me feel better, at least momentarily, I am having horrible problems with excessive perspiration, especially at night, I wake up freezing and literally sweating from everywhere, even my hands and eyelids. My Dr. keeps saying it is just menopause and I just try to deal with it. I have noticed that I feel a strange feeling as if something is constricting the front of my neck/throat directly prior to the onset of the sweating. My temperature (verified by two thermometers) will vary in a matter of minutes from 94.5 to 97.5. My entire life my base temp. has been 96.8 and I always feel as if I am freezing, so, honey...good or bad?

Is Honey Intake Advisable While Suffering From Hypothyroidism?
Hi, I don t believe it is hyperthyroidism but most probably just menopause. Anyway, you should be checked for hyperthyroidism if your doctor suspects it. Taking honey doesn t affect hyperthyroidism either menopause but you can benefit from its nutritional values. Honey also smoothens your throat. You can take phytoestrogens to cope with a lack of estrogen caused by menopause, eg. soya milk. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
