Brief Answer: Get your thyroid tested again... Detailed Answer: Hi, Weight changes, hair fall, weakness and abdominal complaints may be related to thyroid hormone disturbances. I would order for repeating thyroid tests before looking for other causes. Visit your doctor as and when feasible and plan necessary tests. Let me know if you need clarifications. Regards
