Soy

[schaefer]

Did anyone else reduce or eliminate soy products and found their thyroid improved?

I doubt their thyroid would improve, not if they're on thyroid hormone replacement, but their absorption of thyroid hormone should improve at a cellular level.

Hi there i have cut out soya from my diet (2months) as i was told its not good for the thyroid but not sure if it works as yet, also cut it out due to being celiac and some celiacs believe soya can become cross contaminated- so to be safe i cut it out.😊

thank you! I have been focused on my cholesterol and eating soy for it..now to find out my thyroid med is not working because of so much soy. lately I dont know what to eat...so crazy..hope you have a nice holiday..Cheryl

Yes and for some reason if I eat Soya it appears to make my Thyroid swell, so I don't eat at all now. I am okay with Soya sauce though

ok good to know...I am going to try pea protein and pea milk since I have to eat vegetarian..which both sound kind of gross..

Pea protein isn't bad when mixed in foods like soup. If you don't have a nut allergy, homemade almond milk is creamy, superior to anything you can buy & has no questionable additives. Really easy to make.

oh yum..I will try it..thank you! I love almond milk and not that fond of boxed vegie broth..

have a bunch of butternut squash to cook and I can add some nutmeg.cool

..thanks Cheryl
