Reply to "Thyroid Issue!"

katenet,

I appreciate your reply. I can see now another reason why my thyroid levels are all over the place. I have had many problems with my j-pouch and it has been particularly erratic of late as my pouchitis has progressed. It's not under control with antibiotics, soft diet and all. No wonder it was so high in February when I was at Mayo getting a balloon dilation of the efferent limb. The contrast x-ray also revealed that my entire pouch was inflamed. It tested at 19.8 and 3 days later back home at almost 12, an 8 point difference in 3 days. I trust Mayo's lab. It's a see saw. My GI says I need to get my thyroid under control and that will improve my pouch problems. It looks like my pouch is affecting my thyroid function.

Thanks for letting me post about my problems CTB. I'm very ill and scared.
