What Causes Diarrhea And Bowel Incontinence?
I have been taking Levothyroxin 50mcg since June 2017. I already have problems with my bowels as I have no muscle strength to get to the bathroom when warned by an InterStim surgercially implanted 2013. Since starting this thyroid medication, I rarely make it to the bathroom in time. I have to now wear DEPENDS. Do you think this med as increased my bowel movements to diarrhea everytime I go to bathroom? What can I do?

hello there,
u need to get ur TFT (thyroid function test ) re evaluated.
it can be that ur hypothyroidism has now shifted to hyperthyroidism or the dose of levothyroxine is high for u and accordingly u will need to get the medicine or dose changed.
Regards
