Avoid taking millets. Get your tsh test done. Regulate dose of thyronorm according to tsh report.

Hello, Thanks for the query. Millets have some antithyroxine action, so better to avoid when a person has hypothyroidism Dosage of Levothyroxine should only be adjusted if TSH level is more than desired. Taking millets and increasing dosage of Levothyroxine is not advisable. Thanks.
