A lot of foods contain iodine (which is, as the salt package says, an
"essential nutrient"). Do you have to be super-careful with things like
dairy food & egg yolks? Can you eat regular fish?
Do you also use non-iodized salt?

Or is your problem with concentrated sources of iodine, like in pills; or
the less-pure kind in seafood.

I'm allergic to shellfish, but have no problem with other forms of fish
(white fish like), iodized salt, vitamin pills w/ iodine, other
iodine-containing foods, etc. And I had no trouble with radioactive iodine
treatment (which is a purified form & very little iodine anyway). I haven't
had any iodated contrast (like for CT) so I don't know how I would react to
that. And I don't know or remember if I've used calcium supps with a
sea-source.
