I found out recently that I having been drinking too much water given the high water content in my diet (plenty of vegetables and fruit). The symptoms I attribute to hypothyroidism are also symptoms of too much water. See my other post entitled Drinking too much water? I wonder if too much water is the reason I don't have enough iron in my system or if I have an absorption issue. I went to a talk about water by a medical professional at my local natural health store a while ago.

Check out the youtube video - How Much Water Do you Drink Each Day? by Cori Ann Lentz.  She drinks 2 gallons (7.5 litres) of water a day. I think that is excessive and she does warn you have to go to the bathroom a lot lol.  She isn't suffering any symptoms of hypothyroidism or low metabolism.
