Patients with hyperthyroidism should avoid foods high in iodine, such as kelp, nori, and crab. They should also limit intake of spicy and stimulating foods, including chili peppers, garlic, and onions. Diet should primarily consist of light, nutritious meals; consuming foods rich in protein and vitamins may help alleviate symptoms.
