Guest guest Posted August 17, 2010 Report Share Posted August 17, 2010 Does the majority of the conversion of free t4 get converted into free t3 in your gut? I was on a gallbladder website and it mentioned this - so I got the impression that possibly after gallbladder removal surgery you could start having problems with converting t4 to t3 which is what happened to me and I also started gaining weight at that point. Is this correct? Here is the link to the website - http://gallbladderattack.com/hypothyroidismandgallbladderdisease.shtml Thanks, G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 18, 2010 Report Share Posted August 18, 2010 OK well then what would it mean then if twice over the last year or so I have had horrible upper GI pain that radiated through my chest and sent me to the ER both times and when lab work was done my liver enzymes were elevated? 4 times the upper limit of normal this last time on my ALT - they so far have checked for hepatitis but that has all come back normal but my ALT and AST are both elevated. I am also constantly mildly swollen and tired and can't get my free t4 to increase but my free t3 does and my tsh is good.
