You know stella, that thought crossed my mind tonight. We had some fried rice i made tonight and of course you have the Soy sauce on it, i thought well this is more soy i will be putting in my body. Is it something that effects us all with Hypothyroid, or some ppl it would have no effect on?

I agree 8g is not high - but our diets consume alot of soy hidden in many foods. That's the concern on really how much is the person getting.

[dawnangela]

Yes thats true, it isn't a lot and i do find it relieves some of my symptoms without having to take HRT..

Yes, soy is not good for thyroid.  But you are only taking 8g, total, so I don't think that is enough to be a concern.

Get your bloodwork and get your meds adjusted if necessary.

Thanks Stella, i dont think ill take any more as i feel i need to get an increase in meds when i go back for bloods in Feb..Been good for 6 months but now i feel some symptoms returning, i dont want to mess up my blood work:) And thanks will have a look at your journal on that..

[stella5349]

Hypothyroidism is linked to early menopause. I have a journal on some of that. - BUT the link lies on estroGEN - ( see the GEN on that word - that is a BIG ONE.) dominance. Not that estrodiol that is usually low and causing those symptoms.

HAve you read Knock Out by Suzanne Sommers... I would take a peek at that first. It is written in leman's terms and really makes it easy to understand before you start the cr@p shoot on taking care of things on your own.

Soy - not good whether you still have thyroid function or taking meds as an alternate.

I thought all ok as well, what do you think of the Soya bean as many are saying stay away from soy products?  i wonder if it is the same sort of thing. I dont think i have had a problem having soy myself though so i think it is another case of if it causes you no problem then it should be fine:)

Hi,

i think ok as long as you are taking it well apart from your thryoid meds, which you are.  So no problem.
