HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

Synthroid, like all other medications, has potential side effects. It is not , however, not normally associated with abdominal pain.

With a previous history of an ulcer in the stomach, it is possible that this is the cause of your stomach pain. It would be best to visit your doctor for an assessment regarding this possibility.

Investigations such as endoscopy or barium studies may be needed.

I hope this helps
