I have hypothyroid which is autoimmune. Taking levothyroxine from 3 months. I am frequently getting indigestion, gummy stools, stomach ache. Sometimes nausea. Is it related to thyroid. I was read that there is a connection between intestine and thyroid. Is this condition normal to anyone during thyroid therapy? Please suggest me.

Hypothyroidism is usually associated with constipation. Eat a high-fiber diet. Get insoluble and soluble fiber. Limit foods that are high in fat. Choose lean meats. Incorporate probiotics into your diet. Eat on schedule. Stay hydrated.

Lybrate-user, hashimoto's thyroiditis (ht), which is the autoimmune condition, causing hypothyroidism. Treatment is same like hypothyroidism. With thyroxine tablets. The problems mentioned could be part of the symptoms of ht. However, some times digestive problems may not be connected with that condition. It is better if you increase intake of green leafy vegetables and fruits, that will help in reducing this. Plus hypothyroidism has to be well controlled.
