Hi, many thanks for the query!
You need to do Thyroid profile, so that adequacy or excess of the hormones can be detected & corrected accordingly by your Endocrinologist.
Your symptoms suggest that its excess of hormones but if not (as per reports) it can be due to infective etiology in which case you need to start anti-biotics as per Culture & Sensitivity report of Stool examination along with antispasmodics, antacids, pre- & pro-biotics to replenish your Gut-flora with your doctor's opinion.
Drink plenty of oral fluids specifically those containing salts like ORS.
Wish you a good health.
Take care.
