What Causes Stomach Bloating And Constipation?

My Name is Lauren I am 25 years old and recently had some blood tests due to problems with my stomach bloating, constipation and constantly being uncomfortable.I was told that my blood count was fine and that my liver and kidneys were all fine the doctor said that everything pointed to IBS however the blood tests also showed that my thyroid function was borderline. They told me to go back in a few months to have some tests for it. What does this mean?

it means ur thyroid function tests are not deranged enough to treat. u need to repeat it after few weeks if it remain deranged or worsen thn u will be needing treatment otherwise no treatment. for constipation and stomach bloating change lifestyle use plenty of fluids avoid oily spicy food take high fiber diet. use yogurt and milk more. regular bowel evacuation is necessary. try to pass stool daily esp in early morning because reflexes are good at tht time. intially u will have to sit in washroom for longer time it will get settle with time
