Hi Val,
Glad I could spark an interest. (Can't believe some folks actually read all I posted. I, myself get a bit put off of long posts.)
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. In fact I even have my husband trained to look at labels and if it has the word soy, hydrogenated, wheat (and a few others)in the list, he is to put it back on the shelf.
Soy is in everything..............because it's CHEAP!!! The food business IS a business so whatever substitutions they can make that are cheaper, they will. Unfortunately I HATE to think what this will do to youngsters over the long haul.
But, in defense of those on this board who have found it useful, they have the full right to choose it as a dairy alternative.
As to soup, about the only canned one I buy that is on most supermarket shelves is Anderson's no-fat split pea.
Glad you can tolerate a little low-fat butter now and then. Now that I'm older I've found just giving up certain things period, isn't as hard as if I were younger AND would rebel like crazy.
If you're interested, get on the thyroid boards on About.com. Mary S. is a wealth of information and has written a wonderful book. She reminds me a lot of Heather in her vigilance to help people with the same problems.
Take care, thanks for your reply, and BTW, love your web site...........
