You're right, sfita,
Thank you for pointing that out. I got it wrong because I was thinking of people with Hashimoto's, but they too have clearly distinct periods of weight gain on hypothyroidism, and weight loss on hyperthyroidism:

It looks like stalling is a better explanation of poor growth on soy.
About the powder, I would think it would be better to start on soy milk then, and switch to powder when you are certain that you can grow on a higher dose.
I'm still surprised the starting dose is so low, though. 15 ml is so little. Eve M used both powder and milk, and she grew. I could be wrong, of course. I based it all on two numbers in Table 2:

I'll look for an independent source to calculate the right dose for soy.
