Hi

Thanks for the information

Your information points to lot of irregularities

Coffee is both a source of gastritis and constipation

Junk food again adds to gastritis and diarrhea

I would suggest you avoid junk food, avoid coffee

Take a good probiotic and if need be a Gi antibiotic

A proton pump inhibitor twice a day for five to seven days will be of great help

Weak body and headaches are due to diarrhea

Hope this helps
Do write back in case of concern
Get well soon
