NDT safety

[thyroidnodules]

I have just read a post from john in leeds to say that he has been taking ndt for 9 months with great results but that it inflames his colitis. i have just come out of hospital with infective colitis without finding a cause for this when i have always been quite fit and healthy - i have been taking thiroyd for two years now and this has raised a query for me if it could have been that. has anyone heard of this before - i dont want to stop thiroyd as it suite me so much better than levo which just blows me up like a balloon

Can you help me locate his post?I have swopped from Thiroid to TR Mann(also from Thailand)This is swallowed whole.It has a gastric-proof coating to allow it to transit to the small intestine.I was having some gastric reactions to Naturethroid & Thiroid.I was chewing the pills as recommended.

Don't know if this is of any interest to you & John

Did they examine stool and blood for all the following? Apparently Infective Colitis is caused by

•Salmonella

•Shigella

•Campylobacter

•E Coli

•Cholera

•Clostridium Difficile

•Tuberculosis

•Amoebic Dysentry

•Giardiasis

•Rotavirus

they forgot to take a stool sample (typical) - another doc at the hospital said it could be ischemic colitis. they have taken biopsies and i will get the results in 7 days

They forgot? How on earth can they say it's infective colitis if they don't examine for infections? The mind boggles!

Ischemic colitis is mentioned in that article too.

i know i only remembered when i came home. however, they had given me an enema and a scope to take biopsies so perhaps it will show in that - and because of the enema i hadnt moved my bowels again in the hospital. i will enquire though about this when i get my results. i have been taking my new batch of thiroyd for about 5 months - I had no problems with the first tub. it makes you wonder though with the hot weather etc if the tablets are ok. i hadnt thought about this until john from leeds put his post up. of course it could have just been something i ate but i was very ill - swollen sore stomach and blood pouring out of my back passage when i had diarrhoea every 20 minutes for about 12 hours. it was scary - had to spend 3 days in hospital
