Suffering From Gastrointestinal Disorders, Painful Abdomen. Done Endoscopy And Colonoscopy. Taken IBS Drugs. Further?

I am 43 year old male my height is 175 Cm and weight 70 Kg.
I am suffering from gastrointestinal disorders since last 10 years.
I have to go for stools for 3-4 times in the morning and pain in the different parts of abdomen during the day.
My Upper GI endoscopy was done in 2006 and 2009 the observation was normal.
Colonoscopy was done in 2006- normal, 2009-UC, 2010-normal. Biopsy of rectum suggestive of inactive colitis.
Doctor treated me with Mesacol in Nov-2009 for three months and after that doctor changed the medicines.
Since then I am getting treated with IBS drugs at several instances but no medicine is providing me complete relief from the symptoms.
Kindly suggest me for further line of treatment.

General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi Sudhanshu ! I would advise you to go for a routine stool test to exclude amebiasis. Even if it is negative, a course of anti amebic drugs sometimes help to a great extent but you must consult your physician before starting the same. If you are a frequent visitor to hotels and pubs for your food, you should avoid it to the maximum, as repeated infections of the intestines can occur due to this causing symptoms of IBS.
You have to add more of roughage and enough liquids to your routine diet, and also add curd to your diet daily. Go for exercises like morning walk daily as a routine.
On the medicinal aspect, you may discuss with your doctor for a proton pump inhibitor along with a probiotic.
Wishing you an early recovery.
