Re: Re: thyroid/soy question

> If a person must use soy, I would think the key is to space it so it is

not taken close in time to the synthroid. I would think a 2 hour buffer on

either side of the synthroid would be the minimal cushion.

** I believe that the problem is not a matter of when to take something or

spacing like we do with calcium and iron, but that the problem lies with the

cumulative effect. that the soy is in our body for 18-24hours digesting and

interferes with the daily thyroid absorption. at least this is what I have

read. but I would certainly take the advise of not taking a soy protein for

several hours post thyroid meds. but I do believe its more than that.
