Comments on: Hypothyroidism: Bloating and the Immune System https://hypothyroidmom.com/hypothyroidism-bloating-and-the-immune-system/ Feel better with hypothyroidism, finally Wed, 09 Apr 2025 17:15:57 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.4 By: Leyna https://hypothyroidmom.com/hypothyroidism-bloating-and-the-immune-system/#comment-35508 https://hypothyroidmom.com/?p=21860#comment-35508 I’ve been diagnosed hypothyroid for 20 years and been on low dose levothyroxine for that long. I’ve been increasingly getting sicker as I age. I also have a blood clotting disorder and now so many other problems like diabetes, high blood pressure and arthritis that the meds are ridiculous. I never lose weight. at 41, I’m now experiencing such excessive bloating regardless of what I eat that it’s effecting my quality of life. it looks like I’m very pregnant. it’s painful and heavy and hard. it does come and go and is very much worse at night. I have so many other symptoms too but for the sake of shorter posts, I’m wondering here mostly about what I might be able to do to calm this bloating until I can get these doctors to pay more attention? I finally got a referral to an endocrinologist and my primary to agree that it’s gotta be autoimmune related. the depression this causes is overwhelming.

Hi Melva, Many of us with hypothyroidism require thyroid hormone replacement medication to be well. That said, there are many pieces to the thyroid puzzle outside of the thyroid gland that can help us feel our best including dietary changes, advanced lab testing and supplementation. I created the Hypothyroid Mom Newsletter to walk people through all those various options: https://hypothyroidmom.memberful.com/join

I understand once you start that medicine, you are on it for life.
