1,2 -- A full glass of water should be taken with fiber tablets to decrease the risk of intestinal blockage. Popcorn is a high-fiber food and an appropriate choice for a patient who needs a high-fiber diet. The patient should not ingest a high-fiber source at the same time that thyroid replacement medications are taken, as the fiber will interfere with absorption of the thyroid replacement medication. Meat and eggs are not good sources of fiber. This patient should look for fiber content on labels rather than carbohydrate content.
