This was going to be a question for @Gondwanaland -- I hope you don't mind me tagging you here instead. I saw you mention in an old post that you couldn't take Psyllium Husk because it's goitrogenic. I was searching but couldn't find any evidence of this?
I was also wondering if anyone knew any other negative effects associated with PH?
The reason I ask is because I seem to respond quite well to substances that immediately cool down gut inflammation. I was doing well with Chia seeds but possibly due to the magnesium content, they crash my adrenals quickly and make me very weak. I also sometimes take Ambien to sleep and because of my adrenals, it can end up wearing off too quickly and I wake up in a panic. I find if I take something to 'coat' my stomach beforehand, I sleep through the night without issue; the Psyllium Husk worked well for this purpose last night. But I am concerned if it has any negative effects on the thyroid, because I already show issues in that department.
