Hello everyone. My life has improved greatly from Heather's diet, etc... I have lost about 20lbs. since June. Feeling much better. Then dr. called me in for my bloodwork, to renew my Synthroid meds for my hypothyroid . They said to start taking iron pills 3x day, my iron is low. And they upped my thyroid med.... I started reading about how soy can affect your thyroid... Have any of you ever run into this??? I'd appreciate it.

Hi, Marilyn! So glad to hear the diet is helping and you're feeling better.

Yes, I believe there is a problem with soy and thyroid that people have talked about here. Kandee is the expert. Just do a search with no time limit, you should see lots of posts about it.

Good luck and congrats on feeling better!

Again, Mags (I think) talked about this. Do a search on iron to find her suggestions.
