Brief Answer:
stool examination along with medications may help.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for writing your query.

After reading your post, I would advise that you should get your stool examined for any infection or parasitic infestation.

You can take an antacid like Omeprazole 40mg once a day before meals along with an antibiotic like Ciprofloxacin 500mg twice daily along with Metronidazole 400 mg thrice daily. A probiotic will have added benefits.
Digestive enzyme preparation containing pepsin and fungal diastase after meals will help you in relieving your symptoms.

You should eat light meals prepared under hygienic conditions. Also take care of your hydration.

I hope this is helpful to you.
If you have any further query, I will be happy to help.
Thanks.
