Yes, you can eat rice even if you have subclinical hypothyroidism. Rice is a gluten-free carbohydrate source that provides energy and is not known to interfere with thyroid function. Since your TSH is only mildly elevated (4.43) and you're on homeopathic treatment, a balanced diet with adequate nutrients is more important than avoiding specific foods like rice.
Next Steps
Continue your homeopathic treatment and monitor your TSH levels periodically. Focus on a thyroid-supportive diet, ensuring you get enough iodine, selenium, and omega-3s. If you have any other symptoms like fatigue, weight gain, or cold intolerance, discuss them with your doctor for further evaluation.
Health Tips
Opt for whole grains like brown rice instead of refined white rice to maintain stable blood sugar levels. Pair rice with protein and fiber-rich foods to prevent insulin spikes. Ensure you're getting enough iodine and selenium from natural sources like eggs, fish, and nuts to support thyroid function. Stay hydrated and avoid processed, high-sugar foods that can contribute to inflammation.

You can eat rice in subclinical hypothyroidism, but moderation is key. A well-balanced diet, rich in fiber, protein, and essential nutrients, will support thyroid function. Focus on iodine-rich foods, selenium, and zinc to help regulate thyroid activity.
Additionally, regular exercise and stress management play a crucial role in maintaining hormonal balance. If your homeopathic treatment includes dietary restrictions, follow your doctor's advice. Otherwise, consuming rice in moderation, preferably unpolished or brown rice for better fiber content, is safe. Avoid raw rice, as it may interfere with digestion.
Next Steps
have good sleep and balanced diet
