Constipation/ Diarrhea Symptoms

Hello,

Curious question. Since I’ve found out I have hypothyroidism I noticed I don’t have diarrhea but softer stools. I was curious if this should be a symptom that should go away when I get everything back to normal levels or is this a new “normal” from now on. I realize that some other may have constipation as a symptom but interested in others experience.

For me, mannitol or sorbitol as medication fillers cause similar issues, so it may be worth checking the ingredients of both thyroid meds and any supplements you take.
