Hello
I had gone through your question and I can understand your concern
Looking at your history this could be due to any of these possibilities
1. Gastroenteritis due to infection
2.worm infestation
3. Indigestion or malabsorption
4. Irritable bowel syndrome

I see such patients in my clinic, after clinical examination and patient history of would advise them for a battery of tests like liver function tests or stool test for ova cyst or protozoa

you may require a course of antibiotics like ofloxacin with ornidazole under supervision of your doctor
have plenty of fluids including ORS to counter dehydration
take probiotics which will improve healthy germs in intestine
have plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables
Wash your hands with antiseptic soap every time you eat
avois fatty fried spicy and junk food or carbonated drinks
hope this helps you
please feel free to ask for more clarification I gladly answer you
best wishes
