My toilet habits are quite regular at the min, and have a lot of flatulence which I think might be due to the vitamin c I've been taking just recently, but every 5 days or so for the last 2 weeks I've had very bad explosive watery stools (sorry) I'm no way constipated which I though was one of the symptoms of underactive thyroid which is what I Might have not sure yet. Can a underactive thyroid cause diareah?
I'm at the doctors again tomorrow as one of my bloods were borderline, so will be asking for
TSH, FT4, FT3, TT4, TPO and TG antibodies, plus vitamin D, and I am going to ask for vitimans to be checked to. I have had b12 folate and ferratin done is there anything else I should be asking for?

If you have a blockage (even if you don't seem constipated) stuff managing to find its way round the blockage can cause explosive watery diarrhea, as can something called a "blind loop". Lots of vit C or magnesium can cause losse stools but it is usually every day you are taking that dose, not intermittent.
