Ep. 252: Hashimoto’s, Hypothyroidism & Your Gallbladder — The Overlooked Connection
Episode Description
Gallbladder pain is often blamed on diet, gallstones, or digestive issues… but for many people with thyroid conditions, the link runs deeper. In this episode, we explore how Hashimoto’s and hypothyroidism may contribute to gallbladder dysfunction, why symptoms are often misattributed, and what you can do to get answers.
In this episode you’ll learn:
How low thyroid function can impact bile production, digestion, and gallbladder health — and why so many patients are caught in a cycle of pain and frustration.
The overlapping symptoms that get overlooked, including bloating, upper abdominal discomfort, nausea, and fatigue — and why they may be mistaken for “just digestive issues.”
The role of inflammation, autoimmune triggers, and hormonal changes in gallbladder function for people with Hashimoto’s.
How thyroid medication, diet, and gut support can influence gallbladder health and improve treatment outcomes.
Practical strategies to support digestion, reduce inflammation, and work with your healthcare provider to identify hidden contributors.
What research tells us — and what remains unknown — about the thyroid-gallbladder connection.
If you’ve experienced persistent digestive pain, bloating, or fatigue despite managing your thyroid, or if you’ve ever wondered why gallbladder issues seem harder to resolve with Hashimoto’s, this episode sheds light on a connection few people talk about.
