So, for the past few months Ive been having problems with my bowels
My poop is either pencil thin and shredded and sometimes I feel a little sore in my lower abdomen
I went to a walk in clinic, where upon the doctor immediately jumped on the fact that I have Graves disease and every time I tried to raise the issue of my bowels he would shrug it off saying that I am hyper thyroid. Ive never symptoms like this before though...
Does this sound right? Or is he just using a pre-existing condition as an excuse...
Thanks
Lynn
