Hypothyroidism and constipation
I started taking levotyroxine 25 ug daily 8 weeks ago for hypothyroidism, and a TSH level of 11. I also had "brain fog", swelling, dry skin, and muscle pain, all of which improved immensely. However, I am still experiencing constipation, and no amount of fiber is making it better. My TSH is now 3.15, normal. How can I improve my constipation?
