Abstract

Constipation is common but diarrhea is very rare in myxedematous patients. We report a young woman with myxedema in whom chronic diarrhea was the dominant symptom. A fasting breath hydrogen test was positive, indicating bacterial overgrowth as the cause of the diarrhea. Antibiotic treatment was successful. We conclude that bacterial overgrowth due to hypomotility may be the etiology of the diarrhea in such patients.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
