First off, which veggies are cruciferous?
So, my fam has a history of thyroid disease. Mom has hypo., grandmother has a goiter and they check it all the time, and I have a nodule. I'm seeing the endo. in 2 weeks.
Maybe soy isn't a good idea for me? Are there other things I should be careful with? Could the thyroid cause low immunity if not treated?
Thanks so much for this post Kandee!
*big hugs*

Hi Val,
Sorry you have Graves, I'm a Hashi hypo. In fact you can see my goiter in my picture (can't believe I'm admitting this). It's the ring that looks like a muff around my neck. It's not really BAD and I don't think much about it but nonetheless it IS there.
Like you, I have to avoid soy.
Soy is in everything..............because it's CHEAP!!!
As to soup, about the only canned one I buy that is on most supermarket shelves is Anderson's no-fat split pea.
Take care, thanks for your reply, and BTW, love your web site...........
I have one eye bigger than the other so I guess we just
got to get used to these things huh? lol
I hate this hole soy thing. It's probably the most
limiting food in my life because it's everywhere and
so many of the foods talked about here include soy.
I am definitly going to look for Andersons no fat split
pea and Rice Dream frozen dessert. Thats a new one on me.
Thank you for the comment on my website. I have several but
I'm guessing you mean Critcs Corner? If you would like to
be on my mailing list let me know. I'm always looking for
people who want to be on the mailing list for the website.
Check out my main website if you have time. A Safe Place

Graves disease is an auto immune dissorder that is
first diagnosed by the symptom of HYPERthyroidism.
Check out the link that EYEBSER2 put in her post
for a more extensive description.

I've only seen it at Whole Foods. I comes in a package like soy milk...not in the refrigerated section...and it says Almond Milk on the front (I'm not so visual otherwise I'd describe the logo for you!) I'm gonna go do a search and see if I can get more info for ya...be back soon!

Thyroid problems are inherited. There are different types
of thyroid diseases. Mine IS an auto immune dissorder.
I'm glad your having the nodule checked.
Here is a link for you National Graves' Disease Foundation
You can do a search for whatever questions you have.
It's such a complicated subject that it's hard to
give much information in a short post.
