Brief Answer:
I will answer the reports one by one.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome to health care magic,

I have gone through all the reports you attached.

Any biochemical laboratory reports should be correlated to clinical features.

1) Your blood sugar 104 which is completely normal in this case and also urine analysis is also normal.

2) SGPT,SGOT are slightly elevated but it should be correlated clinically before suspecting any disease.It can also be raise following fatty meal or few alcohol drinks.Still,if you want to confirm then you should go for Alkaline phosphatase and GGT with ultrasound of abdomen-hepatobilliary to rule out any liver pathology.

3) TSH value is significantly higher which is suggestive of hypothyroidism for which you should start the treatment from your local doctor or physician.

4) For vitamin D deficiency, you can take vitamin D sachets 5000 to 10000 IU per day.Apart from treato,you should take adequate sun exposure to prevent further deficiency.

5) Frequent urination could be due to high water intake or anxiety or diabetes (doesn't look in your case) or any kidney disease (here,creatinine is normal,so it should not be in your case) but it should not be the big issue when you have no clinical complains otherwise.

6) It might be IBS what you have asked which is nothing serious.
Irritable Bowel is a very long term issue and needs therapy. Unfortunately to date, there is no permanent cure for the problem and it's management relies on diet and lifestyle modifications along with certain medications.

Diet and Lifestyle Modifications in IBS like avoiding Pulses and Beans, food with high amounts of refined sugars will help.

Medications in IBS like Loperamide (Brand Name: Eldoper) has been used in the management of IBS with diarrhea (frequent bowel movements a day, like in your case). But it must be used with caution because the more you use it, the higher risk of getting an infection in your bowels. If you must use it. Use only 1 or 2 tablets in a day.

Antispasmodics like Mebeverine (Brand Name: COLOSPA) has also been used to regulate the bowel in IBS.

Lastly, Tricyclic Antidepressants (TCA's) like Amitryptalline have been known to help with IBS.
