Metronidazole may be tried. Fiber supplements essential.
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.
I have very carefully gone through your query. You seem to have colitis, a condition characterized by inflammation of the colon. This is responsible for the severe pain as well as the type of stool that you have. Xifaxan (rifaximin) is a gut specific antibiotic which often provides relief in such situations. However, I admit that it is a pricy one. You can try Flagyl (metronidazole) which is also a prescription medicine and hence needs to be be written down by your doctor. It is low cost but should be effective in your case.
I would also suggest you to take curd or yogurt on daily basis. It contains beneficial bacteria and hence should provide relief. You should also take plenty of fibers with your diet. Fiber supplements may also help.
Regards
