I have had my thyroid removed and take levothyroxine and the only thing that I have ever been told was to wait 30 minutes to an hour for the medicine to absorb good before you eat anything and to wait 4 to 5 hours before you take vitamins but especially calcium.
So I take my thyroid meds first thing in the morning with a bottle of water and I wait to even have coffee for at least 30 minutes. I take the rest of my meds in the evening before bed time. This way, I 'm not trying to remember in the middle of the day to take things. I use to try to remember to take my calcium after 4 or 5 hours, but I constantly forgot about it after the day got started so I just started taking everything else at night before bed.
