What Causes Abdominal Pain, Bloating And Dehydration While On Thyroid Medications?
I am a 35yr old male with hypothyroidism. I take medication daily for my thyroid, and high cholesterol. I have been experiencing stomach and intestine pain for 8-10mos with my symptoms progressively getting worst. My doctor suggested IBS. However i want to get other opions. Some of my symptoms are as follows. Extreme gass and bloating feeling immediately after drinking or eating anything. Dehydration all the time. Muscle cramps throught out my whole body. Occasionally pain on left side of abdomen, dyheria, constipation, urinating in the middle of night due to errection. I also noticed a while ago my belly button was pushed out a little more than before but that might be due to weight gain.

Hello,
Yes, possibility of IBS (irritable bowel syndrome) is more likely. But we need to rule out other abdominal causes first.
So get done ultrasound abdomen, CT Abdomen, and upper, lower GI (gastrointestinal) scopy.
If all these are normal then no need to worry much. Start Librax, probiotics, pantoprazole and levosulpiride combination on empty stomach twice daily, avoid oily and spicy food, avoid junk food, avoid large meals.
Also, avoid stress and tension. Don't worry, you will be alright with all these.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
