Hi
Pain in the left lower quadrant of the abdomen with alternating diarrhoea and constipation can
be due to infection of the large bowel in that area i.e. sigmoid colon.
It can be bacterial infection or parasitic or both.
But,you have to be investigated with Plain x XXXXXXX abdomen,Ultrasound abdomen and
Colonoscopy
Diverticular disease has to be excluded too.
Please take antibiotic like ofloxacin and ornidazole,antispasmodic dicyclomine and Pre and Probiotic.
Please stop outside food.
Nothing to worry.
Wish you good health
If you come back with above test results,I will.clarify further
