Ear, Nose and Throat Doctor (ENT) Questions Thyroid Diseases

Thyroid nodules

I have been diagnosed with Thyroid Nodules. One is large enough to warrant a biopsy.
What foods should I include in my diet and what should I avoid?
Can I reduce the nodules through diet changes?
I had gastric bypass surgery 20 years ago for weight control. I take B12 injections once every week. I have done the Keto diet for several months.

Would these factors impact, or cause my thyroid condition?

You cannot reduce the nodules through diet changes. Thyroid nodules are very common and most of the time are benign. Your diet or bypass surgery did not create your thyroid nodules. there were probably there for years without you knowing it,.
