RE: Re: Does thyroxine cause heartburn?

Hi pen,

Same here. I put it down to increased metabolism in general speeding

up digestion, but how it improves the teeth I don't know! Mine do stay clean

now, but are very fragile.

I never used to have problems with indigestion or heartburn. (My poor

husband has enough of that for both of us.) But then when all this

hypo nonsense started I began having really bad problems with heartburn

and the doctor gave me a few courses of Opremazole, which helped a

little.

I've also had to have more regular, three monthly visits, to the

dentist for a descale because despite brushing and flossing and

mouthwashing on an almost obsessive basis I have started having a

problem with tartar build up as well as repeated mouth and gum

infections. I keep telling him that I have a really rigorous oral

health routine but I'm not sure he believes me!

I have noticed, however, since starting Armour and now hc, the

digestive problem has cleared up. I'm off to the dentist again at the

end of the month so maybe things will get better there too now my meds

seem to be kicking in.
