r/Hashimotos on Reddit: Hashimotos and stomach issues
April 2, 2024 -
I am nervous that some other hashimotos related issues may be catching up to me!
I have started experiencing some stomach distress issues over the last few months that are gradually getting worse. Symptoms include:
-Diarrhea -excessive and foul smelling gass (particularly in the evening) -bloating -occasional stomach pain -indigestion -constipation
It started earlier this year with indigestion and gradually the above symptoms have started becoming more and more frequent. I have always experienced occasional constipation as many with thyroid issues do. Otherwise I have never had these sorts of issues, and always considered myself to have a 'strong stomach' and never ever had diarrhea unless I was unwell, now it is most days.
Has anyone else experienced similar? Could this be related to the hashimotos? I am trying to book in with a GP but as I am sure many are experiencing, I am struggling to get an appointment.

If you have Hashimotos and any digestive issues, the answer is almost always: Don’t eat gluten. Or any wheat product. Only took 30 years till a doc told me this. And another 10 of me only half heartedly paying attention. And over time you realize dairy’s not great, forget tomatoes and nightshades, and corn after a while. Sugar’s really inflammatory. Almonds are starting to get iffy. I think I just have to not eat any single food too often. I assume it’s all part of some autoimmune inflammatory cascade. On the other hand if you give up all those things, it’s easy to lose weight. Maybe the upside of Hashimotos is it’s protective against all the cardiovascular diseases since you can’t eat the foods that cause them.

This may be different than your issue, but as a Hashi's, IBS, and anxiety sufferer, I found learning about the brain-gut connection to be invaluable to my digestive problems: https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/health/wellness-and-prevention/the-brain-gut-connection The Nerva app helped me a decent amount-- it's hypnosis for IBS treatment. Changing my diet helped some, but nothing has helped as much as working to rewire my brain to not be in a constant state of anxiety. Plus I love bread too much

Does Hypothyroidism Affect Gastrointestinal Motility? - PMC
It has been found that hypothyroid patients show significant reduction in gastric emptying [1, 2, 7, 15] and that no relationship exists between thyroid hormone deficiency, gastric excretion, and acid secretion [16]. Our patients had primary hypothyroidism, without any systemic disorder, for 2–4 months, and they were all suffering from minor dyspeptic problems. None of them suffered from severe gastrointestinal system complaints such as nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, or constipation.

Can my thyroid cause stomach pain and bloating? - Eveline Rodenburg
November 26, 2021 - If your thryoid is working too fast, the opposite can happen: foods moves through your gut too quickly and you get loose stools and diarrhea. That’s not only painful and inconvenient, it also prevents you from absorbing the nutrients you need. Hypothyroidism also seems to lower the levels of stomach acid.
