Brief Answer:
Please follow the guidelines.

Detailed Answer:
Hi.
Thanks for your query and an elucidate history.
I would like to know which medicines are you taking for hyperthyroidism. Is it under control? Have you got tested for Free T3, Free T4 and TSH recently? Please post the reports of the blood tests, colonoscopy or any other reports.

Hyperthyroidism will have a direct effect on IBS / Colitis..

I would give you a broad outline for control of IBS::
I would have liked to see the medicines you have taken in past with dosage and investigations you have undergone. This is the most important.

For us to say this as a IBS i.e. Irritable Bowel Syndrome, all the investigations should be normal.

I would advise the following investigations and treatment in a such a case:

Investigations:
*Routine blood investigations like Complete blood picture, blood sugar, urea, creatinine, liver function tests, thyroid function tests.
*Urine -routine and microscopy
*Stool: routine, microscopy, occult blood, culture and sensitivity.
*Ultrasonography of abdomen,
*Colonoscopy
All these investigations should be within normal limits for one to say you have IBS.

Treatment:
''STRESS'' = stress is the most important cause of IBS. Please remember and you must have observed that when you do not have stress your problem with IBS is reduced
Change of lifestyle.
I think 'may be' you are not coping with something.
Vacation outside of your area, mobiles phones to be off.
You must have noticed already that these changes help a lot.
Try to avoid anything which you are / have to do against your will and wish. Getr into the hobbies which make you forget the world around you. Life comes only once, boss.

If the change of routine helps, the necessity of medicines is drastically reduced to almost nil.
Medicines ::
You need to have a prescription of a Doctor, please discuss this with a Gastroenterologist to get a prescription. I would like to know which medicines have you taken in the past and in which dosage.
Add on:
Vit A and Vit D in therapeutic doses,
Multiviatamins ,
probiotics,
anxiolytics help a lot.

Remember the simple dictum in IBS : you have to undergo necessary investigations before you are labelled as a patient of IBS. Secondly IBS is easily treatable, controllable and within the ambit of your psychological set-up.
The moment the instigating or precipitating factors come into play the problem may re-start.

I am hopeful that this information will definitely help you.
Please feel free to ask further if you have any further query.
You may please rate this answer.

Wishing you a complete recovery and a changed life.
