Thyroid TSH variation
I have thyroid from 4 years. I got my thyroid test done yesterday, T3 and T4 are in control, but my TSH is 9.2. My doctor has increased thyronorm from 50mg to 75mg. I never had a constipation problem, but in the last 2 months, i had constipation, along with stomach bloating, mild gas in the lower abdomen, and noise in the stomach, specially after i eat high fiber diet. Is my stomach problem related to the variation in my TSH?
Also, the blood tests show that i have Vit B12 deficiency, iron deficiency and low platelets and WBC count. I never had fever in the last 1 year.

Your doctor has increased the dose to 75mcg accordingly as your TSH level is high.The thyroid gland can have a significant impact on the gastrointestinal system.Hypothyroidsm can include dyspepsia chest pain low stomach acid, poor absorption, constipation, anemia and bacterial overgrowth in the small intestine which causes bloating.You should drink plenty of water,do exercise, use laxatives if necessary.Once your TSH level reach the optimal levels you will be fine.
