But here is were my confusion comes in. i know to take the other 15mg at noon. Does that mean i cannot eat again until 1pm? When can i take all of my vit?

Thyroid hormone needs to be taken 2 hours after/1 hour before food/drink other than water.
Vitamin C helps with thyroid hormone absorption so it would be a good idea to take that at the same time as your Armour.
Your iron should be 4 hours away from thyroid hormone so dinnertime and/or nighttime dosing would work best for that.
The other vitamins can be safely taken whenever you'd like - just be consistent from day-to-day.......this is vital for success with all aspects of thyroid disease.
Best of luck to you moving forward!!!

I didn't see this mentioned, but DO NOT TAKE CALCIUM within 4 hours of meds! (Check your multi - it may have some calcium)
I wasn't aware of vitamin C helping thyroid hormone absorption, which Cd mentioned, so I will do that as well. :)
