Thyroid & Craving Crackers Posted: 08-31-07 06:39am


Hi! I had my throid removed about five years ago. In the past few years I have been craving saltine crackers. I was visiting with another lady that had her thyroid removed and she is craving crackers as well. Why would we be craving crackers? I don't even want to eat food anymore, just crackers!

probably something having to do with the fact that salt in the US is iodized, and iodine is one of the things that the thyroid gland regulates. what kind of hormone replacements are you taking?
