Is Abdominal Bloating Related To Hashimoto S Thyroiditis?

I was diagnosed with Hashimoto s Thyroiditis 7 years ago and have been taking Synthroid ever since. As far as the fatigue and most of the symptoms are concerned, I feel all right, but I ve lately begun to have terrible abdominal bloating, as well as water retention in my joints. I cut out gluten as saw no change--in fact, I systematically went through a number of possible causes, but nothing changed. I m a young 62, active, and have never weighed more than 115 lbs. Since 2006, however, I have gained 25 lbs. Is there some way to fight this bloating?

Hi, Welcome to Health care magic forum.
It appears to be the arthritis, may be osteo, or rheumatoid arthritis.
I advise you to consult an orthopedic surgeon for diagnosis and treatment.
Bloating may be due to infection in the intestines.
I usually prescribe to my patient with such symptoms ofloacin, ornidazole, and ranitidine.
Take more of green leafy vegetables, pulses, sprouts,and
protein rich foods to hasten the recovery.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
