I do not tolerate Synthroid (or Levoxyl) well at all, my doctor told me for now I can stay off them...I guess it doesn't matter until it gets worse.

ARCHIVED Black Flecks In Stool

Hi, I'm a recently self-diagnosed gluten intolerant member. I have changed my diet drastically in the past three weeks and now all of the sudden I am finding little black flecks in my stool. I am hypothyroid and although I take the gluten intolerance seriously, I may be getting traces of it in my diet still (I'm having a little trouble working it out of my...
