Stomach, Feces...

For days, BMs normal. Then cramping, urgency to go, usually after lunch, then blowout bm. On Armour Thyroid. 45y/o female.
Have seen 2 gastro guys in last 3 years. Said most likely IBS. Did not want to do colonoscopy as hemorroids were so inflamed as well as a fissure. Said to add fiber, which I did for awhile, but wonder if it is making things worse. Had really bad bout of hard stools last week, now belly seems to be tender. GP said most likely from pushing, muscle etc.as well as intense moving of home goods. GP doesn't feel need for me to go to Gastro again. Wants to see if my thyroid levels out and if fiber will help over a 4 week period. I am taking Armour 120mcg and 3 fiber capsules a day. I don't know when to make the decision to break away from the thoughts of the GP.
Other situations:
Acid reflux, on occasion
Gassy
Belching
Please offer me some ideas.
Thank you
