Supplementing T3 and drastic bowel movement changes

I started supplementing 25mcg T3 cytomel to my every day, and I was pleasantly surprised by the results so far. I am warmer everyday, but my bowels have changed a lot. I go less frequently and when I do it isn't explosive and semi-watery/flaky, but solid and the consistent of healthy stool. I also no longer have chronic pain under my rib cage on my right side, which I assumed was IBS related to my large intestine. My numbers have always been on the edge of hypothyroidism, but not considered so. Like TSH before TRT was 5.0 now it is 2.35, and Free was just barely in the healthy range in the 3.0 somethings... I will continue using this if it continues to help my bowels like it has. It is so nice to feel like what I am experiencing might be normal again. I also get into the 98% temperature during the day. This was never the case before ever. Any time I took my temperature I was solidly in the 97.0 somethings and occasionally in the 96s. Is this bad what I am doing and should I discontinue even if it makes me feel good? I diagnosed myself and bought the T3 for fat loss, but found out it might be doing more than that for me. Thanks.

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
