Hi Vinod,
Thanks for writing in.
Your symptoms are suggestive of either irritable bowel syndrome or a long lasting parasitic infection like amebiasis or giardiasis.
I would like you to take tablet metronidazole for 1 week for treating these infections. This would help relieve your symptoms. Since this is a prescription drug, I would suggest you speak to your physician about this.
If this does not help, I would suggest you see a gastroenterologist and get yourself evaluated for irritable bowel syndrome. Till then, limit your wheat intake; limit caffeine intake and have plenty of fiber.
Lactifiber an be taken for a few weeks. Once we have addressed the cause, you can stop this fiber supplement.
Hope this helps
