I recommend making an appointment with your doctor or dietitian to discuss this further. Send PM

I don't know of any shake that doesn't contain it. Do you have any suggestions of what I could use to replace it with? Send PM

I found this thread helpful as it reminded me to look for iodated salt... when next I need salt... I dont eat bread or much grain and have stopped dairy this year due to whey intolerance and am looking for ways to boost my iodine... I bought some dulse seaweed but havent found it very nice in cooking although I did read you can sprinkle it on pizza (corn tortilla ones  for me)! Send PM

It is also a good source of iodine which is deficient in a large number of people. However, in your case I would recommend skim milk powder as it is lower in iodine and still high in protein. I hope this helps. Send PM
