Hello
I appreciate your concern
I glad to know that you are weaning off the lithium.
Looking at your description it seems that your symptoms can be relieved with certain life style modifications and dietary changes like

Avoidance of fatty fried spicy and junk food or carbonated drinks.
Lots of fresh fruits and raw and steamed vegetables and dietary fibers.

You can take anti acidity medicines like pantoprazole or omeprazole with antacids
You should take laxatives or stool softeners to avoid acute constipation

Please get your thyroid test done and upload me the reports so that I will be able to tell you more accurately
wishing you good health
Regards
