Hi,
As per your clinical history, please follow like this:
1) Get it clinically examined your Doctor[Gastroenterologist] and to confirm, you need few investigations like [Colonoscopy, CT scan, Stool examination RE/ME].
2) Try to eliminate high-gas foods such as carbonated beverages, vegetables especially cabbage, broccoli and cauliflower and raw fruits.
3) Try eliminating FODMAPs from your diets and consult with your Doctor to make a chart.
4) Do take OTC fiber supplements or stool softener if you have regular constipation, and discuss with your Doctor about [Dicyclomine] for abdominal pain.
5) Talk with your doctor about taking antibiotics like [Rifaximin] along with probiotics for 10 days every month.
6) Do exercise regularly and do meditation like deep breathing to reduce stress.
