Loose stools and flatulence are symptoms of a number of illness. This can occur secondary to - Infective illness / Post infective syndrome/ Malabsorptive diseases & inflammatory diseases.
Crohns is an inflammatory disease characterised by significant abdominal pain, reccurent loose stools, anemia and perianal diseases. It is associated with plenty of stool pus cells and a high CRP
It is difficult to conclude anything from your symptoms. You need to XXXXXXX a doctor and get yourself evaluated

Hi
IBS is a diagnosis of exclusion and is characteristically abdominal discomfort associated with changes in the stooling which releives on passing stools. Diseases like celiac and microscopic colitis of infiltrative disorders closely mimic IBS. Hence a diagnosis of IBS is made only after ruling out other causes. So you need to XXXXXXX a local gastroenterologist and get yourself worked up. Meanwhite quiting milk and taking a high fibre diet along with zinc supplements helps many.
