Thyroid: losing weight, itching skin.
After delivery, stopped thyroid medication as thyroid level came to normal. But after sometime i started losing weight and since then lost 10 kg weight, hairloss, iching skin, feeling hunger after an hour of meal intake.
Tried every method to cure naturally but seeing no improvement.
Is there any way we can control with diet?
I am feeding milk to my baby so will this impact baby too?
Need to retest? Any diet change needed then what should be the plan ? Please assist.

Weight loss, increased appetite, hairloss, sweating and palmo-plantar hydrosis, restless, anxiety and mood disturbances, occasional loose stools etc can be the symptoms of thyroid abnormality mostly Hyperthyroidism.
Since had a history of thyroid disorder during pregnancy chances are more for the same.
