Need to know if symptoms started after therapy with nature thyroid?
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I am sorry for the situation you are in.
Before running into final conclusions, I need to know if the symptoms you are experiencing have initiated after starting therapy with nature thyroid ?
I want to know if you have run any other examination like :
- abdominal ultrasound
- fecal examination/culture?
They are important in determining the final diagnosis .
I need to have these info first before referring to the specialist.

Brief Answer:
No problem with hernia, further tests to be run
Detailed Answer:
Hi back,
Thank you for providing additional data.
If I was your caring doctor would advise to run further diagnostic tests before giving final conclusions:
- malabsorption test
- Culture of feces
With regards to ventral hernia, it won't give any problem taking into account its size.
All the best!
