I'm sure I read that cruciferous veggies (broccoli, cauli and cabbage) only need to be avoided for people with underactive Thyroids (not all Thyroid diseases) if they're raw - cooking well destroys their hormonal effects - like destroying the levels of certain vitamins if you overcook them. So in small IBS safe amounts they're not gonna have any effect at all.
There are so many Thyroid diseases, it's hard to say about symptoms - there can be lots of strange effects, my friend has an underactive Thyroid, but those symptoms may not fit your family traits. It can certainly be hereditary, though, so get this checked asap. BTW, did you know that Thyroid diseases can affect your bowels - an underactive Thyroid can make you tired, depressed, constipated, slow your pulse, your body temperature, moody, sluggish and slow everything right down. Overactive Thy can make you sort of the opposite, nervy, irritable, etc. But if you're developing Thyroid disease, you can get all sorts of weird and wonderful symptoms as you sort of swing between the extremes of thyroid activity and then settle into one 'abnormality'. You really need an accurate diagnosis before trying any self-treatments for this.
