Could hgh cause goiters

After a horrific trip to Mexico I could not get rid of the travelers diarrea  brain fog ect.
Im 47 and have recently been diagnosed hypothyroid. On scale 0, I am 9+.
Am new at this but am on Levothroid 25 mcg for about two weeks now.
Seem to be more tired than ever. On and off stomach aches diarrea. dizziness. I had the ultasound and do have nodules I guess one is larger that the other and is solid. The doc says he is turning over to the Endo.  Have been taking hgh spray on and off for approx. four  years. Was also taking  Melatonin  for sleep for the past couple of months stopped when taking  levothroid Could this somehow all be related?  Any help would greatly be appreciated.

Thanks for your help, will go for a biopsy on the nodule in a few days.
I really don't have much info on it guess it is ginda small. But have been suffering from a sore throat, don't know if it's related or not.
Thanks again!

Thyroid issues can cause diarrhea.. Stress can cause thyroid issues to become worse and cause severe Diarrhea.  traveling can cause stress.. Its a mad circle.

Before I was diagnosed  I traveled all over...NO parasites..Just thyroid..everything I put in my mouth came out the other end..  

Probiotic is great..there are all different kinds out there..look in the dairy section in your grocery store. these will ease your symptoms...

You can get parasite tests in a pharmacy to make sure..very inexpensive

The Mexico trip doesn't have to do with the thyroid symtoms it has to do with a parisite of some sort in my opinion and I have had both. The goiter is caused by deficiancy of iodine probably casued by your body voiding most of it out before your thyroid can actually use it. or the HGH tricked the body into not making the hormones on its own. Pituatary glands is the God to start with. You do need a test to evaluate your hormones Thyroid panal TSH FT3  & FT4. Lots of naturalist take Iodoral in small amounts fo goiter. I don't know how they came to solid nodule and is it hot or cold what size is it. I drink a glass of Celtic Sea Salt and water a day in the morning it helps me. Also probotics is necessary for you yogurt is a good start. Someone here posted using apple vinger & baking soda to calm the stomach I think thats good food for thought.
