Avatar f tn In Dec of 2013 I first became ill, and the diarrhea has been constant since Jan 2014. I only felt my neck to be tender and swollen last month, and was tested hyper then. The diarrhea pattern has waxed and waned over the last year+. Right now, it's pretty severe, to the point of waking me from sleep again, which had stopped for several months. I see an Endo next week, and I just had a colonoscopy last week (my 2nd). Everything looks good in the colon. I follow up with GI in May.
Avatar m tn i am having morning diarrhea. The first stool in morning is normal and then I have about two bouts of Diarrhea till lunch time. I was treated for IBS but then one day I stopped Thyroxin & saw the diarrhea disappear! I started Thyroxin again & Diarrhea came back. My gallbladder was removed 2 years ago but there were no symptoms till last one year.. What to do?
Avatar f tn If the diarrhea continues, I would be seeing your Doc to decrease the T4 med down to 62.5mcg and increasing slowly. Baby steps are needed when it comes to dosage and 75mcg is a high dose to first start with.
Avatar f tn I have diarrhea almost everyday and I have been this way since I was a teenager (I am 30 now). I also have been diagnosed with low iron, borderline anemic. I am wondering if it is possible that the low iron level in my body can attribute to the diarrhea? I have had my thyroid tested several times and it is not the problem.
Avatar f tn Haven't gone to doctor for detox off Klonopin yet. Had to see PCP for continued diarrhea. She ran bloodwork; everything is good, I had started rehydration just in time (4 days ago) and my electrolytes came back normal range. Also, had Thyroid Panel tests as well, I have hypothyroid symptoms. I have Grave's Disease and had to have my thyroid ablated then supplementing with thyroxine. The diarrhea started when I started detox off opiates; now 19 days. Very sore bum.
Avatar f tn 5) and diarrhea and extreme exhaustion. This started in August. I went to my PCP on Sept. 2nd after having been woken up at night with diarrhea. After many blood tests, I went to a GI specialists that said my thyroids felt full. My TSH W REFLEX test results was 12.16 (normal range 0.28-3.89).
Avatar f tn ve had diarrhea everyday for i cant remember how many years, my weight has always been a struggle and i too had my gallbladder removed in the end, they said it was diseased and that should have been the cause of the sickness and diarrhea but 5 years on and i dont remember my belly ever being normal yet.
Avatar m tn 68 yr old woman and just went on levothroxine for thyroid. It has been about 2 weeks and diarrheal has begun Is this just a temporary side effect?
698356 tn?1240150727 Okay Ladies and Gentleman read at your own risk. I'm on levoxyl for hypothyroid, Cymbalta for depression/anxiety, and lots of vitamins for deficiencies. My gastrointestinal system is making me so frustrated and uncomfortable. I'm trying to figure out if this is thyroid related at all or if I need to go to a gastro specialist. For years I've had a sensitive stomach. As a kid I remember having diarrhea pretty much every time I ate out at a restaurant. Mom said, take immodium AD.
Avatar f tn I’ve been on it since January and in April it started with occasional diarrhea and loose stools. I switched to Synthroid a few weeks ago and now it’s been diarrhea several times a day and cramping. They did other labs to see if something else is going on and everything came back negative. Never had this problem prior to taking meds. No other symptoms at this point.
Avatar m tn Could I possibly be hypo, but have diarrhea instead of constipation because of a gluten instigated thyroid problem (and the gluten issue is independently causing the diarrhea)? The other flip flop symptom is that normally I feel hot and sweaty, but lately my hands have been feeling cold and I have been getting some faint chills. It's almost like I am mildly fluctuating between hyper and hypo. Does that make any sense? Can this flip flop over days/weeks?
Avatar m tn My diarrhea and constipation was from thyroid. I thought my anxiety and diet was causing it but mine was all from being hyperthyroid.
Avatar f tn I have been on thyroid meds a year now liothyronine sod 100 mcg I'm still tired all the time and I shack off and on feel sick and sometimes I have diarrhea haven't lost any weight I feel like I'm getting worse Dr. tells me it take time for my body to adjust to meds. once I had to go to emergency room and they said it was my tsh is 0.
Avatar f tn TSH is a pituitary hormone that is affected by so many things that, at best it is only an indicator, to be considered along with more important indicators such as symptoms, and also levels of the biologically active thyroid hormones, Free T4 and Free T3. Note that these are not the same as Total T4 and Total T3. So, please tell us about symptoms you have. Also, if tested beyond TSH, please post those, along with ranges shown on the lab report.
440171 tn?1204778801 Hi Cindy, This has happened to me intermittantly since early in tx. I try to keep my foods alkaline with no salt or spices. After one particularly bad few days I ended up with an 'anal fissure' (more than you need to know lol!!!), but had to get cortisone cream and religously use it.... just another sx to be aware of but better prevention than cure on that one!!!
Avatar n tn I had a sigmoidoscopy and CT abdomen test which prove negative, but the diarrhea is still persistent, what else can cause this? I have a history of one colon cancer in the family.
Avatar n tn Said many patients with vitaligo also have thyroid issues and order thyroid peroxidase test. His results show his thyroid peroxidase is 225 and shows the normal range to be less than 35. What does this mean? I scheduled him an appointment with a Pediatric Endocrinologist, but they can't see him until March 9. That is an awful long time. How concerned should I be? Should I insist he be seen earlier?
Avatar f tn I have had both asthma and hypo thyroid for almost 40 years. I noe have sky high IGe and am on Xolair. I was just curious...
Avatar f tn Please get your thyroid checked. I used to have so many colds, sore throats that would not get better.
Avatar m tn These include urticaria, pruritus, skin rash, flushing, angioedema, various GI symptoms (abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea), fever, arthralgia, serum sickness and wheezing. Hypersensitivity to levothyroxine itself is not known to occur.
Avatar f tn I have mine tested about every 4 months and I take Armour Thyroid as my med because it is the most natural and it was suggested because of my numbers. Also, there is a Thyroid Disorder Forum on Medhelp that might help you.
