Hi,
Thanks for posting your query.
The symptoms you have could be probably due to irritable bowel syndrome.
But before calling it as IBS, other causes should be ruled out.
A complete blood count, stool analysis, blood glucose, thyroid function test and tests for celiac disease may be done.
Take probiotic supplements.
Regards,
Dr.Ratnakar
