This will lead to stomach heaviness, belching, acid reflux, and to constipation in the intestine.<br \/>\nThe disturbance of the intestinal transit will lead to dysbiosis, i.e. an alteration of the intestinal microbiota.<br \/>\nThe constipation of hypothyroid patients will lead to an inflammation of the intestine as a consequence of the dysbiosis.<\/p>\n<p>This chronic inflammation of the intestine will result in an increase of intestinal permeability, the famous &#8220;leeky gut&#8221;. When the cells are damaged by the inflammation, germs, toxins and allergens arrive directly into the bloodstream.<br \/>\nWhen the body detects the presence of these foreign bodies in the blood, it naturally reacts with inflammation. This general inflammation of the body is called low grade inflammation.<br \/>\nThis general low grade inflammation level can cause Hashimoto&#8217;s thyroiditis. And then there can be fibromyalgia which is also an expression of inflammation.<\/p>\n<p>Intestinal inflammation is also produced by excess gluten and lactose in the diet.<br \/>\nIt is therefore recommended to limit them in the daily diet.<\/p>\n<p>It is very important to treat hypothyroid patients well, and to recommend them a diet that does not cause inflammation.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dr. Sabine Vranken, physician at Dr. Hertoghe Clinic, explains why all hypothyroid patients have digestive problems: \u201cThe active thyroid hormone T3 is responsible for the motility of the stomach and intestines.
