I recently read that soy might be related to infertility. Any knowledge is much appreciated. Since going gluten-free, I have also gone lactose/casein free and intake a lot of soy milk. Thank you!!

Hi!

I recently read a book about soy and fertility and I'm convinced that soy is not good for you at all. I wish I could cite the section, but I got the book at the library a month ago. The book is called THE MOOD CURE, by Julia Ross, M.A.. Ross cited research about vegetarian child-bearing aged women who once they became vegetarian, their period stopped. What it comes down to, is that their consumption of soy was increased and it was effecting their progesterone and estrogen levels.

In the U.S., we are told that soy is the wonder food, but we consume too much of it. The average Asian woman consumes only 2 tablespoons a day compared to the ounces that we consume here...soy milk, tofu, and as ingredients in processed food.

Yes, I am a big believer that soy does adjust your female hormone levels and eventually put them out of whack.

Like I stated before, I wish I could cite the text, but I am going from memory. I'm sure somebody out there will counter this reply.

Sorry that this is only a little bit of help.

Kim

      Products that help to break down potential accidental gluten exposure

      GliadinX is such a product and many/some report it really helps. In the interest of disclosure, the company that produces it is one of our sponsors.

      Products that help to break down potential accidental gluten exposure

      Occasionally eating out in restaurants means that there is potential cross contamination in spite of ordering a gluten free dish. What enzyme supplements can the forum recommend that would help with potential cross contamination? Something I could take before I start eating. I used to order Wheat Rescue from Microbiome lab, but it is not available anymore.

      Hi  - Anyone have any experience with these? I bought them at Costco thinking they must be gluten-free, but now I see Natural Flavors and Spice in the ingredients. There's no Gluten Free labeling. However the Costco site and two other sites say it's gluten free. Anyone know?

      Yes, I doubt you can find a perfectly safe restaurant--perhaps a dedicated gluten-free restaurant, but in general, very few of them exist, and they tend to be in larger cities. Super sensitive celiacs should probably just avoid eating out.
