Growing up sucks

Anyone who knows me, knows that I am a very picky eater. Partly because there are some foods that I honestly can’t stomach and partly because there are certain things that I am not allowed to have. Well tonight I just realized that for the past 6 months I have been consuming a certain product that I am not supposed to be having. It turns out that one of the main ingredients in in my protein shake mix is SOY. This product is a very big no no for people like me who no longer have a thyroid. If it wasn’t for the fact that I was curious about what other protein products were out there and curious about what I added to my diet that could be causing my body to react the way it is, I never would have realized it. Why, because my protein mix uses one of the long complex names for soy that one would never think of unless they researched it. I was too focused on avoiding one product  when I bought it that I didn’t even stop to think about it containing soy. It feels like I can finally take a huge breath of relief and hope that these symtoms go away. 

This week has really been a week of revelations and I am really glad that I have discovered this now. Time to change my diet AGAIN!
