I have had a long time issue with arthritis in my big toes and hypothroidism. Now I have read that too many oxalates in some people can cause this.

As far as thyroid, I've been hypothyroid for years (diagnosed about 20 yrs ago but it's been longer than that for sure). I have seen things indicating that soy can interfere with meds for hypothyroid so I just avoid large chunks like tofu and soy milk (which I have found to be problematic for me. YMMV). --DebR

All of which I have.

Each person is going to have different needs - some folks on the kickstart are gluten intolerant, others have nut allergies, others have soy allergies, and so on. You need to do what works for your specific needs. --DebR
