What Causes Increased Weight Gain When Diagnosed With Goiter?

My daughter has a goiter, the doctors have told her it is nothing to worry about. She has gained a considerable amount of weight over the past five years. Before that she was very slender. She has started a juice fast because she feels tired all the time and has been doing that for a month. She has not lost any weight to speak of. I am very worried about this situation.

Hi, i do care for your concern.
Your symptoms suggest more of hypothyroid.
i would recommend the following.
To take a complete thyroid function test (FT3,FT4,TSH)
To consult an endocrinologist, and to get medicines for hypothyroid if found so.
Taking medicines regularly would produce excellent result, and add to your hope. thank you
