As per your history is concerned your clinical sign relates with Irritable bowel syndrome,so follow:-

2)Avoid gluten in diet this will reduce diarrhea
3)Avoid FODMAP
4)Take fruits and vegetables in diet and add a fiber supplement which is available without any prescription in markets.Take 35 gm fiber every day.
5) If constipation is severe add stool softener with liquid paraffin at bed time.
