Key Points
This is a Low-Iodine Diet (“LID”), not a “No-Iodine Diet” or an “Iodine-Free Diet.” The American Thyroid
Association suggests a goal of under 50 micrograms (mcg) of iodine per day.
The diet is for a short time period, usually for the 2 weeks (14 days) before a radioactive iodine scan or
treatment and 1-3 days after the scan or treatment.
Avoid foods and beverages that are high in iodine (>20 mcg/serving). Eat any foods and beverages low in
iodine (< 5 mcg/serving). Limit the quantity of foods moderate in iodine (5-20 mcg/serving).
