Chronic bloating after meals with lactose intolerance and underweight. I also have thyroid issues which one of the doctors mentioned might be connected to my gut. Is it correct? If yes, how to take treatment? Which doctor do I refer myself?
Hello, there is condition called reduced intestinal permeability or commonly called as leaky gut. In these conditions mostly your gut is the major reason associated with other system disorders especaily skin and thyroid disorders. So yes, once you correct your gut microbiome balance and heal the gut lining - your body is better absorbing nutrients correcting any deficienies and healing the thryoid but the priority is gut. Treatment approach includes diet, supplements, lifestyle management combination to correct the underlying root cause. I would suggest you to get a thorough blood test done first and connect with a integrative medicine or functional medicnal practioner or naturopathy physician who can help you accordingly to reverse the conditions. You can also book a call with one of our doctors for furhter assistance.
