4. Malfunctioning Thyroid

The thyroid gland is located in the neck and is responsible for the proper functioning of the digestive and many other systems. It regulates the release of hormones responsible for determining the speed of digestion. If a person has hyperthyroidism, their thyroid gland produces excessive hormones, speeding up the digestion process and triggering diarrhea and stomach aches. On the other hand, hypothyroidism slows down the entire process. This can cause constipation and gas, which can also lead to stomach and abdominal pain.
