New normal range for thyroid test       08/05/05 11:15 AM Edit Reply Quote Jocie Reged: 08/02/05 Posts: 12 Loc: North Carolina I'm so glad many have had doctors who wanted to check their thyroid levels. It is important to know that the American Asso. of Endocrinologists have recommended that the "normal" range for TSH be .3 - 3.0. The current range being used by most labs is .5 - 5.0. If you are above 3.0 and constipated it is highly likely due to your thyroid. My doctor treats me based on my symptoms and I tend to have symptoms when my TSH level is above 1.5! Just FYI for those struggling with their IBS but eating all the right things. Jocie Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator
