BPA

[Xavismom]

Hello Mamas, I'm hoping to get some information =)

DH and I have taken as many steps as we can to get plastic out of our house, and to lower our BPA exposure. But I'm wondering if there is anything proven to help clear out built up BPA in your body?

I am pretty sure my hypothyroid is caused from drinking excessive amounts of bottled water for many years before I knew better. Since cutting out as many exposures as we can think of, my levels have evened out and I've been able to lower my Rx dosage.

I also worry about built up BPA since I'm breastfeeding.

I'd love any information on cleaning this out of us! Search engines are not giving me much..

Detoxing would help (with some sort of cleanse, as well as things like skin brushing, sauna, exercise) but unfortunately you are not supposed to detox when you are breastfeeding. 

Have you read Dr. Mark Hyman's work about hypothyroid?  He has some interesting approaches to dealing with it beyond conventional meds (and he does suggest detox as well for thyroid issues).
