The Gastrointestinal Tract and Liver in Hypothyroidism

Hi,

Here is an interesting article about the gastrointestinal tract and liver in hypothyroidism; sluggish intestinal motility ranging from mild obstipation to paralytic ileus and intestinal pseudo-obstruction.

I guess that hypothyroidism also can result in the contrary to obstipation, as people with MC experience a lot?

Quote: Although diet may have a role in this modulation, thyroid hormone appears to have a direct effect on the intestine (44,52). Unquote.

agree, very very interesting....

sounds a bit like my other issues, a bit of a spiral, one issue feeds another issue, and they end up in a spiral.

My term for it is "all over body meltdown"......and as horrible as it sounds, we are not alone in this. And I thank the stars everyday that we have the tools to fix a lot of these issues.
