Mine got a lot better when I cut out all soy. <br /><br />Soy is goitrogenic (suppressing the function of the thyroid gland) and so are cruciferous veggies which I happen to love and still eat. Eliminating soy of any kind lets me still eat my greens.dariushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12905692094664443489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-603055518123606194.post-54537342600550402582011-12-28T14:12:37.125-05:002011-12-28T14:12:37.125-05:00Thanks Leah's Mom.

Soy has been directly linked to thyroid issues and may be something you might want to check out. Almost all processed foods including salad dressings, chips, crackers, bread, peanut butter, canned tuna, boxed cake mixes, "natural foods", etc., etc. contain soy oil so it is very hard to avoid if you use any processed foods at all. There is lots of research on the connection (and symptoms) if you google.<br /><br />(Perhaps this isn't what the issue is but at least worth checking out!)Leahs Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12196015694319795342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-603055518123606194.post-85454001339236987932011-12-28T12:35:36.665-05:002011-12-28T12:35:36.665-05:00I, too, avoid corn, wheat, soy, canola and even zu...I, too, avoid corn, wheat, soy, canola and even zuchinis if I don't know where they've come from. And the list is getting longer as time goes on... Just trying to find suplimental chicken feed can be a challenge if you're not careful. <br /><br />More frustrating yet, is knowing that the pollen from the fields around us will contaminate our carefully chosen seed...is there really any corn in the US that isn't affected by pollen from GM plants nearby? <br /><br />I wonder what it is going to take for this nation to make the connection between the rise in disease and the disregard for the old "tried and true" ways of farming vs our "scientific", chemical dependent farming methods? So frustrating to me that so many people think the old ways are hazardous (think raw milk and fermented products to name just a few...) and the new ways (think "dead", steril food) are what you eat when you're "informed". <br /><br />Sad.Leahs Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12196015694319795342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-603055518123606194.post-5758203531220975112011-12-28T11:35:41.394-05:002011-12-28T11:35:41.394-05:00This was really some much needed motivation for ma...This was really some much needed motivation for making sure that I FOLLOW THROUGH with what I had already planned for myself and my family from here on out. I also believe that our health is in our hands and since I am the caretaker for my family I have to do a much better job of making sure that the food that we eat is of the best quality that it can be. <br />My teenage daughter is constantly cold; even in the hottest of weather she wears coats. She sleeps as much as she possibly can every day and she get horrible canker sores in her mouth. I am convinced that the root of this problem is dietary and it's up to me to do all I can to heal her. <br />Thanks for the post.

Last I read, there are over 40 different names for them.dariushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12905692094664443489noreply@blogger.com
