Hello sir, I am a patient of hypothyroidism and taking tablet thyronorm 150 mcg. Now thyroid function is under control. Recent reports are also ok. Most of the times after eating eggs, chicken and even milk, my stomach gets upset. That causes stomach pain and flu like symptoms within 24 hours and also unusual stools. Sometimes loose and sticky. The problem gets solved after taking 3 to 5 days course of antibiotics. I'm extremely tired of these recurring infections. Please help me.

Mr Ankit, Thanks for the query. I have gone through the details given. You have not mentioned what are the current or recent levels of TSH. that would have given an idea how well hypothyroidism is controlled. Please tell why do you eat mostly eggs and chicken? If the stomach upset is repeatedly occuring then that particular food may not suiting you. Please reduce the intake of those food stuffs. Add more of green leafy vegetables, salads and fruit to diet. Se if that helps. Another aspect looking at your height and weight, with a BMI of 30.65 kgs/Sq meter, you are already in grade 1 obesity. Hence there is a need for weight reduction. Your ideal body weight should be 60 kgs. That means there is an excess of almost 20 kgs. Please take steps to reduce the weight. Thanks.
