I'm very interested in learning how to get more of my protein from plants. However, when I read this post, I was frustrated because my IBS will struggle to tolerate many of the plants in the list and I've been told my hypothyroid thyroid should stay away from tofu and soy milk. I already minimize the amount of dairy and sugar in my diet and would like to "eat healthy", but when I see these posts, I realize they are likely written for people without other conditions. Where can I go for "healthy eating" info when I'm working around conditions? The answer isn't see a dietitian - - I did that at Mayo and was told to eat lean protein, healthy fats, fruits and vegetables. I tried to have the discussion about how best to work around my existing conditions and their answer did not change. I appreciate your post, I do, but it would be greatly helpful to sometimes see comparable posts that address the same point but consider IBS, thryroid, etc.
