The thyroid panel is going to be difficult to get basically because most

MDs do not know how to read them and are taught they aren't necessary.

Diagnosing thyroid disorders takes results from a multitude of tests.

Standard test is TSH and T4. The full panel is TSH, T4, Free T4, Free

T3, antibody tests, and I'm not sure what else.

When someone is having thyroid problems, it effects their entire body,

and that will include the digestive system. However, my IBS went away

when I changed my diet and had nothing to do with my thyroid. So, you

have to look at all avenues when diagnosing problems in the body. But

all of us here already know that.

IBS/IBD are the same but spastic means an area of the colon that is very

small and goes into spasms. IBS stands irritable bowel syndrome or

disease (IBD) which is the same as ulcerative colitis. An upset stomach

is not the same as an ulcerated stomach.

You can have both IBS and a spastic place, I too had that once.

Hope this helps to clear this up.

I was diagnosed with both.
