Guest guest Posted September 26, 2006 Report Share Posted September 26, 2006 Thanks for the info. I do want to avoid soy. I had avoided it prior to being diagnosed with hypothyroidism due to how it interacts with other hormones. I was just stating that I am surprised how many products that soy was in when I read the ingredient list. I thought I had been doing a good job avoiding it but I need to be even more diligent by reading labels. I like the way some companies have in bold print after the list of ingredients "Contains: dairy, soy, etc".

Guest guest Posted September 26, 2006 Report Share Posted September 26, 2006 NO question is a stupid question around here, , ask away. If you're feeling great while taking your thyroid med AND consuming soy in all this time, then maybe you can tolerate it, but I wouldn't say yea. Reason is that it is NOT directly in the digestive tract where soy does it's dirty work, rather, at the cellular level. Soy does things at a chemical reaction cellular level that " fools " the body, to make this short, thereby denying cellular access of thyroid hormone. This is the only way I know to put it at this point. So, taking the soy way apart from thyroid hormone doesn't even work, if the hormone is going to be blocked, since this reaction doesn't take place in the stomach or intestines. Soy is a great imitator.

Guest guest Posted September 26, 2006 Report Share Posted September 26, 2006 I am having trouble finding a multi-vitamin that does not contain soy, corn, yeast, fish, gluten, etc... any ideas?

Guest guest Posted September 26, 2006 Report Share Posted September 26, 2006 Another label to read!! I have not checked my supplements. My husband is allergic to dairy (not intolerant) he gets welts/hives. My girlfriend who has celiac said that you cannot assume that products that your repeatedly by have the same ingredients. She said she has bought a product which was fine. Then later bought it and the ingredients have changed. I was thinking about it. I generally do not have a problem with soy since we don't use much processed or packaged products at home. It has been since I have been trying to eat breakfast more regularly and good a good serving of protein in with it. I love my carbs and generally don't get enough protein. I get tired of eggs. Plus I'm really not a morning person so I was looking for something easy. I thought the protein drink I had was only whey protein. It turns out on further review that is is whey AND soy protein. That lead me to the other labels in the pantry. So I guess it's eggs or cold cereal (Uncle Sam's) or oatmeal and milk with some fruit for breakfast.

Guest guest Posted September 26, 2006 Report Share Posted September 26, 2006 I just ordered the following multivitamins. They are supposed to be especially good for energy because they have all the green superfoods in addition to the vitamins and minerals. I haven't recieved them yet, but I'm looking forward to. The label says " Contains soy derivative, but does not contain phytoestrogens or soy proteins " . I hadn't thought to look for this before I ordered, but now I'm wondering. Does anyone know if this makes a difference? http://www.beeyoutiful.com/goodness/product_info.php/cPath/1/products_id/5 --- Niki Carney wrote: > Ruth, have you checked out Twinlab brand?

Guest guest Posted September 26, 2006 Report Share Posted September 26, 2006 Bless you... The Daily one must have soy, because it didn't say it didn't. this is awesome... I have searched and searched... THANK YOU!!! The allergy multi says: Does Not Contain: Tablet binders, coatings, colorings, fish, fish oils, iodine, wheat, yeast, barley, rice, lactose (milk sugar), milk, egg, citrus or lemon bioflavonoids (including hesperidin), nightshade vegetables, salicylates. Hydrolized protein amino acid chelates, mineral gluconates are avoided as these are derived from soy, barley, corn, potato, milk, egg and yeast. No added flavorings, sugars, sodium chloride, artificial sweeteners or preservatives --- Niki Carney wrote: > Ruth, have you checked out Twinlab brand?

Guest guest Posted September 26, 2006 Report Share Posted September 26, 2006 Hi Kim, One of our members was having a lean hamburger patty for breakfast every morning. Sometimes I get the thin pork cutlets and fry them up. Other times I eat lean chicken or turkey (sometimes deli, which is real easy) with sliced tomatoes, cottage cheese, cheese, fruit, and/or V-8 juice. There are other things you can have, they just aren't " common " breakfast ideas. I wasn't into the eggs thing at first, but lately I've been craving bacon and eggs, fried, nearly every day.

Guest guest Posted September 27, 2006 Report Share Posted September 27, 2006 I too have to avoid soy products. After I had an allergy testing done several years ago, I tried my best to find products that did not contain soy or any derivative of it. Boy, I have had a hard time. I take organic liquid vitamins by Gillham (had problems digesting whole pills). It contains the essential vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and amino acid complexes in base of organic noni juice concentrate and organic whole leaf aloe vera juice. It not bad tasting either.
