Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I ve been bloated and gaining weight for a couple of months. My endocrinologist said my thyroid was at the very low end of normal, and told me to stop taking my thyroid medicine. I stopped for a month and that s when my symptoms started. I barely eat, I feel full all the time, and my pants don t fit anymore due to unexplained weight gain. I ve been back on the fodmap diet for over a month and I don t have dairy. When my symptoms started getting bad, I put myself back on my thyroid medicine. I ve been taking thyroid medicine since 2003. I m tired of feeling this way plus gaining weight . Please help!
