I think hot flushes should be given to men! ;-P
I suffered greatly with hot flushes but, am going through some kind of imbalance somewhere, somehow and am seeking out help from a gynecologist for it. I've also had the weight gain...right around the mid-section. Grrrrrr.
I think that most of us will say that the hot flushes and the weight gain are pretty annoying to say the least. Estrogen can cause weight gain but, can help with the hot flushes some.
soy milk (for protein), soy yogurt, soy butter, soy based protein bars, soy based cereal, etc. Well, she had been off of soy for a few weeks, and she got down to 93 pounds. Well, just recently started taking her vitamins that her doctor suggested due to abnornal blood work. Last week is when she lost the weight, and this past week, she has gained 6 pounds. Low and behold, the CoQ10 has soy in it! She also has very coarse hair and acne on her forehead which she never had before.
Since that time, I have taken many different kinds of OTC herbal remedies to stop the hot flashes, night sweats, moodiness, headaches and especially the weight gain. Nothing seems to help. I have gained 40 lbs since 2001 and I honestly can say I do not eat more than I did then, nor am I a junk food addict. I am cautious of what I eat...but nothing helps my problem. I am 48 years old so I was 40 when I had my hysterectomy....too young to be suffering from these horrible conditions.
How can I have a healthy diet and gain weight? I've tried to gain weight eating more than usual but haven't been able to, what food can I eat? Or is there a diet I could follow?
Yes, the other ovary takes over eventually. I had some estrogen deficiency symptoms for quite a few months. If your estrogen deficiency symptoms are really bad, you could consider taking phytoestrogen supplements such as Soy, Black Cohosh, Ginseng, Red Clover or **** Quai.

I am not a total expert, but I have recently learned that my habit of eating lots of soy products (soy milk, soy meat, etc) mimics estrogen in the body. I also found out that certain chemicals in soft plastic water bottles (which I had drank out of every day for a year at work) 'leak' into the water and also 'mimic' estrogen. Even stress hormones can lead to further imbalances.
t think that would cause the weight gain because she had started to gain weight before. Her stomach gets very bloated, her face gets puffy, and her legs get swollen. Her menstrual cycle has been very irregular(she hasn't had it for 6 months, but doctor say she hasn't regulated...she has had it for nearly 6 years), she has very cold hands and feet, and she is constipated most of the time. We took her to the doctor because we though it was her thryoid.
If one of the first five ingredients in anything is soy, it is off limits. I was told that soy can metabalize as estrogen in your system. That is something they give for pre-menopause and menopause (estroven-c and primifen have soy and black cohosh in them) My doctors think that taking them before and then starting HRT was a contributing factor in my breast cancer. So I would definitely ask my doctors about the soy factor if I were you.
You get protein from plant sources, such as soy milk, rice milk, soy yogurt, soy cheese, soy ice cream, and rice ice cream. As a vegan you need to combine grains and nuts / seeds for essential protein have to be used daily such as rice and beans, pasta and beans, nuts to oatmeal, peanut butter and bread, and salad and nuts. You can also eat the soy and rice products mention above. Eat more raw fruits and vegetables for vitamins and minerals.
You are correct when you stated that you are underweight for your height. Being underweight, you have to gain weight slowly. Suggest you eat 3 meals a day and try to eat a Heart Healthy diet which will give you the nutrients, vitamins and minerals your body needs, gain weight slowly, and help with possibly preventing future disease states.
The slower you lose weight, the less likely you will gain it back. Try a Heart Healthy diet to lose weight which is a moderate fat diet and a moderate fat diet means = using polyunsaturated (omega 3, corn oil, nuts, etc) fats and monounsaturated (olive oil, canola oil, peanut oil, etc) fats, no saturated fats (high fat snack foods, butter, fat spreads) and no trans fats.
Higher doses of estrogen in birth control pills is known to cause weight gain in women due to fluid retention. Get your estrogen levels checked. For weight loss, apart from diet control, indulge in physical exercise daily for which you can even join a gym.
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor.
I'm getting concerned about my lack of weight gain I'm almost 15 weeks and I haven't gained anything. First trimester I lost 20 pounds and the past 3 weeks I haven't lost anymore but no gain. I'm eating snacks, whole grain, fruits, veggies, and all the healthy stuff proteins and what not. Has anyone else had this or is this normal.
But, I ate soy meat and drank soy milk. These raise you estrogen. Also I drank bottled water in plastic. WEll laying off of these helped some , got hormone free reg milk and cut down on soy meats but it took taking Indole-3 carbinol 400 mg. a day to work. Everytime I try to quit taking this migraines return. So I know it its working. Now maybe 1 day of my period or rarely two I will have a migraine and sometimes not at all. If I do have them now they are less severe.
Some babies just spit up no matter what. My second and third are big spitters but they are perfectly healthy. As long as baby is gaining weight and doesn't seem to be in discomfort I wouldn't worry about it. Also I don't like soy baby formula because it has a form of estrogen in it from the soy itself and I don't think its good for babies.
If baby seems like there is pain when spitting up it could be that he has reflux and needs to be put on a med like zantac.
re already dealing with thryoid issues, as the estrogen levels are still affected by the thryoid and vice versa, whether male or female. It is estrogen in particular that soy affects in a huge way. Dr. Mercola explains more thoroughly and better than I can even begin to repeat why the traditionally fermented soy products are the only soy products that are even safe to consume.
Some people have a natural high metabolism which tends to cause them not to gain weight. Since you are underweight, you need to gain weight slowly, try to eat a Heart Healthy diet that will give you the nutrients, vitamins, and minerals your body needs, and help with possibly preventing future disease states. Suggest eating about 2000-2400 calories per day broken down to three meals a day, with snacks between meals.
