Do Thyroid Medication Cause Lower Abdominal Pain Post Food Intake?
61 year old female with lower abdomen pain of and on after food and water. Blood work it Good. No infection or inflammation. I recently started a New Thyroid Medication T4 AND T3 synthetic. Could it be that. Bowels are slightley constipated. Urine is good but I have to drink a ton of water to keep it going. Thankyou
Understanding your concern. As per your query you are wondering if thyroid medication cause lower abdominal pain post food intake which seems to be due to disturbance of electrolytic balance of body due to excessive production of acid and it could be due to food intolerance, food allergy , bacterial or viral infection. Certain food like cabbage , dairy products can cause bloating, so avoid them till you get better . The symptoms can also occur due to side effects of medicine , so also consult doctor who prescribed them and discuss the condition . You should take small quantity of food and avoid large intake at a single time. I would suggest you to consult gastroenterologist for proper examination. Doctor may prescribe antibiotics like ornidazole , albendazole , omeprazole along , laxatives with loperamide. You should eat light and non spicy , eat fresh fruits and vegetables and eat fruits like banana. Take oral rehydrating solution as well. You should avoid intake of outside food. Keep your bed with head on higher side. drink plenty of water and take fibrous food .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes, Dr. Harry Maheshwari
