Phytic Acid In Soy Products

All I can say is...Please god dont let this b true! I dont want to cut yet another thing out of my diet!!!!!!!!! I have soya milk and 1 or 2 soya yoghurts everyday as they are full of protein and seem to keep me going really well....

I'll ask my nutritionist if she knows anything when I see her next week. Fingers majorly crossed!

Don't worry too much, it may just be me. I've noticed that upon adding a bit more soy milk i've become extremely bloated right after drinking it, and if I don't eat something at least an hour after I get these terrible, almost uncontrollable hunger pains that come from nowhere. I experimented this morning suspecting the soy milk as the culprit, and sure enough it seems to be. Same reaction, and I wasn't even thinking about it when it happened, I drank it down and did something else and then it came on for no reason, same sensations. Let me know what you find out, I think i'm going to temporarily take some calcium tablets to see if there's a difference, it may simply be another adjustment. Later in treatment this sometimes becomes hard to tell.

My daughter has a goiter and her doc told us to get her off the soy milk. She's allergic to cow's milk (casein) and was on soy formula, then soy milk for 11 years. I don't know about the phytic acid. Not sure if there's a connection. I sometimes wonder if hypoglycemia is hormone related, and if so, then the soy could potentially cause problems. Http://thyroid.About.Com/cs/soyinfo/a/soy. Htm

could the unsweetened almond milk be a substitute? I tasted it at a friends and it was really good! It really doesn't offer much protein though.

please let me know if this would be ok for a hypo diet?

That should work. Never tried it myself, but i'm going to look into it today to see if I can find it.

I got the silk soy milk, is this ok?

It has 6g of sugar lots of protein.

I just got it with shredded wheat 100% whole grain

can I take this?

You may be okay with that, though some aren't. Make sure the silk is the unsweetened kind, not the "original." people fall for this and think it means plain, it does not. They add pure cane sugar or something to it to make it taste better. Be certain it's unsweetened. If it seems okay to you, keep it up. I stopped because it seemed to be giving me terrible reactions.

It has organic evaporated cane juice in it.

I tried a bit of it with shredded wheat and gave me a headache.

Yeah throw that out and piss all over it, get the unsweetened.
