If you eat anything too soon after taking your thyroid medication what will happen is your stomach won't be able to absorb the thyroid medication quick enough.

That's why they say it's best to avoid eating anything before taking thyroid medication and you should wait at least an hour after taking thyroid medication before eating anything to allow the thyroid medication to absorb properly.
