How To Treat Constipation And Flatulence In A Person With Thyroid Disorder?

Hi, I am currently experiencing severe digestion problems. My Thyroid was tested and it is overactive. Is there a relationship between my digestion problems and the thyroid condition?I can hardly eat any food, battling with constipation and flatulence. I spoke to my physician who told me I probably have IBS. She recommended I avoid the food that doesn t work well with my stomach.I even tried to get a diet for IBS but am not sure whether this is the problem. I am also lactose intollerent and can t handle sugar or any form of sweetner. Since April 2014 I cut dairy and sugar out of my diet. Eventually also eliminated starch. I recently eliminated gluten. I drink water or black coffee. I had such a bad outbreak of constipation that I suffered from backache. I feel like a pregnant woman on her last. Bloated and stuffed for a lack of better words.I recently had a biopsy on my breast done for a lump. I don t know if the stress contributed towards my constipation.My skin is bad, my hair is falling out, my nails are in a poor condition and I battle with depression.We live in a small town with limited facilities. The nearest hospital and proper medical services is 147km from us.
