Hi.
If you can not more tests , there are certain things that can help you.
First of all get examined by a Doctor who on clinical / physical examination can advise you the proper antibiotics, metronidazole, probiotic and if required laxatives. Take these for 5 days and if you get a relief, no further treatment or tests will be needed.
If there is no relief then we can think about other tests to have a proper diagnosis and plan a treatment.
You may then need colonoscopy and so on as per the results of treatment .
