Yes, an underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism) is a very common cause of chronic constipation, as it slows down your digestive system. Long-term use of Smooth syrup can also lead to laxative dependence, making it harder to stop. I gently suggest discussing this with a doctor to get a simple blood test for your thyroid levels and to review your medications like Pantop DS, O2, and Sporlac DS. Finding the root cause will help you get the right, lasting relief.
