Patients with thyroid problems may frequently experience stomach cramps and gas, especially after having the thyroid gland removed. Having all or part of your thyroid gland removed may not specifically cause these symptoms, but it can cause weight gain, constipation and muscle cramps, which can result in stomach cramps and gas (see Reference 1).
