Is Leaky Gut Syndrome Associated With Hypothyroidism?
I have Hypothyroidism and recently have started having digestive issues. Could this be related to my Hypothyroidism, or is it just a digestive issue only. The symptoms point to Leaky gut syndrome in my opinion. There has been instances where my thyroid swelled twice the size it usually is, so that is why I am not sure.

Hi,
Hypothyroidism causes constipation and it's usually hyperthyroidism which causes diarrhoea. I hope the dose you are taking isn't more than the required as it takes a little while to get adjusted to the dose.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
