Hello,
I can understand your concern for your symptoms.
1) Flatulence, loose stool, inadequate defecation, dull pain are symptoms suggestive of IBS.
2) It is a physiologic condition in which digestion of ingested food would be improper due to either irritation/allergy from particular food, inflammation of small intestine or insufficient digestive enzyme.
3) This is physiologic condition so it is difficult to diagnose directly but it can be diagnosed based on elimination of other conditions which can mimic like this.
4) Therefore you might require detailed evaluation with routine blood tests, USG abdomen, upper GI endoscopy and colonoscopy.
5) Treatment is consist of avoidance of food which cause irritation or allergy, anti-acidity medication and intestinal digestive enzyme supplementation, avoidance of fat-rich diet.
Hope I answered your query. If you have any further doubts, I would be happy to help you.
Have a nice day!
