Having thyroid can I take 5m isabgol two times. Heard taking isabgol helps in digestion and weight lost. I do also walk 7000 steps daily also.

Question

Mr. lybrate-user, Thanks for the query. I have gone through the details given. There is no mention of either the dosage of Thyronorm or Gluconorm SR as well as TSH and fasting, PP glucose levels and HbA1c%. Without knowing those facts there is no way to make any comment. Plus with a grade 2 obesity (37.26 kgs/M2) you already have a major issue. The product mentioned by you is basically taken to relieve constipation. It hardly has any benefit on weight reduction. Your primary aim should be to control TSH levels within specified levels, control blood glucose within the specified limits and also reduce weight. Walking for 7000 steps is not enough for you. It has to be more exercise and less of dietary intake. Intake has to be in proportion to your ideal wight 75 kgs. Thanks.
