My girlfriend has hypothyroidism and takes levothyroxine. Her thyroid levels seem to be changing frequently. Is it normal to adjust medication levels every 5-6 months? Is there a more comprehensive test than TSH levels? Should she see a specialist if her general practitioner can't stabilize her condition? What can a specialist offer that a GP cannot?

My 11-year-old son has had wide yet flat stools for over 2 weeks. He has no other symptoms, but I'm worried. He hasn't tried anything to relieve the issue because his stools aren't hard or dry. His last doctor visit was in March, and he has a history of constipation, migraines with aura, and GERD. His diet isn't the best, and he passes a lot of gas. What could be causing his flat stools, and what should we do?
