lybrate-user, Thanks for the query. As you are aware hypothyroidism being a hormone deficiency state, treatment with thyroxine has to go on for lifetime. The condition is very easy to treat if one takes correct dose of levothyroxine regularly. No other supportive treatment is required. Homeopathy to my knowledge, has absolutely no role to play. But if you want to take it then choice is yours. As regards being under weight, you may have to increase the dietary intake of all the three types of foods -carbs, fat and proteins. For hypothyroidism you have to avoid soy beans and soy containing products. All other foods are fine. You consider taking whey protein supplements in addition to your regular diet. Plus when on treatment with thyroxine TSH should be maintained < 3 mU/L to be free from all the symptoms of that condition. So you need to increase the dose by 12.5 mcg per day. Then check TSH again after 6 weeks. Thanks.
