I have had UAT for six and a half years now and been on a lactose free diet for 13yrs?? Roughly so have had soya in my diet for that long. I am reading a lot that soya and thyroid problems don't mix!!! I'm slightly confused and worried that I am causing problems for myself?? Can anyone shed any light on this for me? Thank you for any replys in advance x

UAT and Lactose intolerant
I am UAT and veggie and avoid it, apart from some Temph.
I think there are two schools of thought on the subject though.
Soya in large quantities is not good it is also a common allergen and yes you should stay away from it. Plenty other alternatives and better tasting too. X
I'm vegan and stay away from soya as a rule because of the apparent effect it can have on thyroid function. My thyroid function improved slightly after going vegan and I felt better in myself with more energy.
There are plenty of other alternative plant milks, nut butters, etc out there that offer more health benefits and taste nicer than soya.
I Googled soya and thyroid and it came up with a few good articles and studies. Good luck.x
Thank you all for replies, going look into it. If it's going to make me feel better then it a plus!! Cheers everyone xx
