Susan's Place Transgender Resources

I was doing some research about mtf diet in internet and i'm read that fiber can block estrogen or lower it's levels in human body.
Do you have any experience with that?
I got pretty high fiber rich diet and not i start to worry a little.

Got some links so we can all take a look?

In ftm section about how to fight estrogen.

I'm confused whether you are FTM looking for information on reducing estrogen, or MTF looking to increase it? Either way, fiber removes estrogen from the system, but that helps keep women healthy.

I,m mtf , sorry for confusion.
And i'm eat a lot of veggies and fruits, thats why i worry.

Your endocrinologist will adjust your medications to the correct levels no matter what your body is doing. That's what they're trained in.

There is no endo trained in TS hrt in my country, all we got are sexulogists ( i hope i spelled it right )

My GP said my fiber was low and suggested fiber gummies. Maybe I should reduce from 2 (as indicated on the bottle) to 1 gummy.

Interesting link, but a lot of that kind of thing can be confusing without the full information, that should go hand in hand with other information

Like on this link http://info.spectracell.com/?Tag=Vitamin%20D it tells of the values of vitamins n minerals, some of it there is useless to us now, but we're looking for the information like this on this link.

I hope this helps.

Yes, this is confusing, i know a lot of transwoman are on vegie or low-protein diet which is usually rich in fiber.
I guess i go check my hormones levels and see if my estro is same as o last blood test.

Nice chart Clhoe :)

Thank you :)

HRT is just a shot in the dark anyway. Hormone interaction is incredibly complex, and no-one knows exactly how they all interact. Even a blood test says nothing about what happens in organs, tissues or even at a receptor. I would not worry much about food though. I would only worry when organs start to fail, such as the thyroid or adrenal cortex.

This article is full of silly things. I'd take any advice given in it with a pillar of salt.

Serious alarm bells should be ringing in your head:
The article itself, "I am NOT a licensed nutritionist and I strongly urge everyone to consult a doctor before making any major changes in one's diet."
One of the sources cited, "Dr. Michael Lam, who specializes in natural healing"

"Are you confused about the nutrition information you hear about these days? Seems like we hear something new every day and it is hard to know who to listen to. Next time someone gives you nutrition "advice" ask yourself "what are the credentials of this person giving me this advice?" A nutritionist is typically someone who completes an undergraduate or graduate degree in nutrition. They may be working as a research scientist, health and wellness educator, professor at a university etc. Be aware that there are individuals who market themselves as "nutritionists" with very little or no training whatsoever in nutrition. They may be selling "nutrition products"at a health or fitness center . Before you take "nutrition advice," be sure to check out the professional background and training of the individual giving it."

I'm vegetarian and therefore have a healthy amount of fibre in my diet, doesn't seem to be doing my estrogen absorption any harm.
