thank you for your response.
I have had these symptoms for at least 3 years now. no weight loss as such due to this. I lost weight due to stress last year. no tests done. no other medications or illnesses. The drinking water is hard at where I live. My motion is better when I take digestive pills or tonics like gelusil or zandu pacharisht.

Few tests are to be done before coming coming to this conclusion.
You need to under go the following tests -
