Hello,
To me, you should get some tests done like:
- abdominal ultrasound
- colonoscopy
- stool examination for ova/parasites
- stool culture and sensitivity testing to rule out candida infection
Depending on the results, we can give the right treatment strategy. For the moment, you should:
- avoid foods/drinks that would be your symptoms worse
- increase water intake
- take antacid with simethicone
- take probiotics to stabilize intestinal flora.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr. Albana Sejdini
