How can you tell if you have a thyroid problem?

I lose weight very easily, but just eating a couple of pieces of pizza can make me bloat and gain 5 pounds over-night. Is this a thyroid problem?
Answer:
Here are the most common signs and symptoms of hypothyroidism. A blood test, preferably ordered and interpreted by an endocrinologist, is needed to make this diagnosis. The link below has more information about this disease:
