@mydogsbestfriend welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. I see from your post that (though you are not diabetic) you have some meds that affect a variety of systems and perhaps causing digestive problems. The levothyroxine is for thyroid, part of the endocrine system. Amlodipine is for blood pressure or cardiovascular system. Areds & Lutein are for your eyes. Have you discussed your digestive concerns with your primary (or the prescribing physician)? Maybe he can consider other alternative medications.

Already discussed with my primary, he agreed that the Areds with their toxic level of zinc were the problem, as the other two meds I take have never caused digestive upsets. I started in the alternative Areds I found and have had no digestive upsets since. I am also dealing with minor ckd and fatty liver. Changing my diet and have lost 2 lbs in the last 2 weeks.
