What dietary changes should I make for high TSH and uterine fibroids? - #55550

Your warm water + small amount of ghee routine does not usually worsen thyroid or fibroids, so you do not need to stop it completely if it suits your digestion. For TSH 13.5 + fibroids, focus on reducing inflammation and supporting hormones: Increase: vegetables, fruits, nuts, seeds, dal, protein-rich foods Reduce: processed foods, excess sugar, bakery items, fried foods Avoid excess soy and junk foods Include iron-rich foods if bleeding is heavy: beetroot, dates, pomegranate, leafy greens Simple support: Kanchanar Guggulu – 1 tablet twice daily after food Ashokarishta – 15 ml with equal water twice daily after food Regular thyroid follow-up is important because TSH 13.5 is significantly elevated. Regards, Dr Raghuveer (Ayurvedacharya)

Your condition suggests Kapha-Vata imbalance with weak Agni (metabolism), which is commonly associated with high TSH and uterine fibroids in Ayurveda. Your routine of warm water with 1 tsp ghee is acceptable, but taking ragi daily for long periods may increase heaviness and coldness in some people with hypothyroid tendency. Prefer… Warm, light, freshly cooked meals Moong dal, vegetable soups, khichdi Cooked vegetables like bottle gourd, drumstick, carrots, ridge gourd Spices that improve metabolism: dry ginger, jeera, turmeric, cinnamon Warm jeera-coriander infused water Reduce / Avoid… Excess ragi daily if you feel bloating, lethargy, or coldness Curd at night Fried food, bakery items, refined sugar, cold drinks Excess cabbage, cauliflower, soy, processed foods Helpful habits Daily walking or yoga Early dinner and proper sleep Avoid daytime sleeping and overeating
