borderline hypothyroid and intolerances
hi doctor ive recently been to a nutritionist for varies symptoms and they told me i could be wheat/gluten and dairy intolerent since stopping taking most of these i have felt much better more energy i then went to a doctors to see if my thyroid was okay and was told im borderline hypothyroid so they werent going to treat me but i was to check back in 3 months what i was wondering is if im dairy intolerent and also borderline hypothyroid what should i use for my tea and cereal cows milk or soya as soya has been reported to lead to hypothyroid? thanks
Sorry anonymous465. That long list of items begining with Bamboo shoots and ending with spinach in my previous post a moment ago, i meant to tell you, are goitrogens also...so if your thyroid is underactive they would be not so good for you.
Almond milk tastes great but ask your doctor if it is a goitrogen. Almonds are goitrogenic, but maybe almond milk is not. You are right about soy. Don't drink it.
Bamboo shoots, broccoli, brussel sprouts, cabbage, kale, cauliflower, horseradish, lima beans, maize, mustard, rutabaga, sweet potatoes, turnips, kohlrabi, and the oil seeds rapeseed and canola, millet, cassava, strawberries, apricots, cherries, peaches, pears, almonds, peanuts, walnuts, pine nuts, radishes, soybean and soy products, tofu and spinach. Some of these things are only goitrogenic when raw. So you can (and maybe should) eat cooked broccoli since it has some healthy properties as well.
If you don't watch food labels you will ingest a ton of soy unknowingly. Salad dressings, frozen veggie burgers, snack bars, cereal, bread, lots of "diet" and frozen foods, and lots of stuff marketed to vegitarians. As Graveslady said, read labels. The Blue Diamond brand of Almond milk contains soy lecithin. Almond Dream brand does not. Drink Distilled water instead of tap water. unless you live where they don't flouridate the water.
Some foods you might eat more of that stimulate your thyroid:
Things with caffeine (but watch out for soy in chocolate products) and avacados and saturated fats (yes, I mean SATURATED, especially coconut oil. The best oils are extra virgin olive, raw, unrefined coconut, and flaxseed. Avoid others. Don't over do it on anything on this thyroid stimulant list either, too much of a good thing is generally a bad thing.

Almond milk, peanut milk, oat milk or rice milk. I've never had these. I don't eat cereal except straight from the box for some.
Non dairy milks/creamers.
Blue Diamond Almond (Almond Breeze) unsweetened plain or chocolate almond milk. For cereal and coffee. It's not super creamy, and doesn't really taste anything like milk, but it has a nice not too overpowering flavor, and is very low in calories and it makes my coffee creamy enough to feel like you are having milk. Almond Breeze ( Blue Diamond Almond) on cereal. The almond flavor is pleasantly subtle, and the product has a mild creaminess akin, to 1% milk. There
