Why am I having diarrhea on L Thyroxin and birth control?

Hello. I have been diagnosed with underactive thyroid since 3 weeks and I was prescribe with L Thyroxin 25. On the 1st week I started to take it everyday in the morning 30 min before breakfast, everything was fine. Then on 2nd week, I started again my birth control pills which is Asumate 30. And from the moment that I have started again my birth control pills and the L Thyroxin 25, I have been having diarrhea problem for 2 weeks until today still on going. I am not sure what is the issue , can you help please ?

I think you might have a stomach upset. When you take birth control pills with L Thyroxin, you might experience diarrhea. This could mean that the combo is affecting your gut. Keep yourself hydrated and consider taking the drugs at different times during the day. If it doesn’t stop, talk to a doctor so they can advise accordingly.

I have long term chronic constipation Weight loss depression anxiety and nervousness

Male | 24

You’re having a tough time with chronic constipation, weight loss, depression, anxiety, and nervousness. These symptoms may be related. Being constipated all the time can make you feel low and edgy, plus it may affect your weight. Ensure you have plenty of fluids such as water and eat foods that are high in fiber so that you can keep regular. Moreover, tell somebody how you feel because this might help reduce the feelings of anxiety or depression.

What food is best is ice cream, tea cakes, fibre flakes ok if I have chronic ibs

Male | 42

If you are suffering from chronic IBS, the best diet to go for would be easy foods on your tummy. Ice cream, tea cakes, and fiber flakes may be questionable choices. Ice cream might be the cause of your stomachache, and tea cakes are too sweet. On the other hand, fiber flakes could be a high-fiber one, which can trigger IBS symptoms such as bloating and cramps and therefore be a reason for the worsening of the condition. You should make it a point to eat unseasoned foods like rice, cooked vegetables, and lean proteins to assist in calming your stomach.
