Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX
Welcome to HealthcareMagic.
I have read your query and understand your concern.
Your symptoms are suggestive of IBS. As it is recurrent and not responding to conventional antibiotics.
I would suggest that you see a gastro specialist and get a colonoscopy done to help reach a diagnosis. As IBS is a diagnosis of exclusion. It will help rule out inflammatory conditions of the bowel too.
Hope i have been helpful.

Dr. Ashish Verma
