Hello!

Thank you for the query.

Your stool test result indicate yeast infection and some bacterial infection is also possible. Generally infection is the most common reason of mentioned by you symptoms. To have it completely clear, you should have stool culture test done (to determine which bacteria is causing your symptoms).
However you may also try (without stool culture test) Rifaximine treatment along with probiotic intake. This should fix your problem. If not, than colonoscopy should be considered.

Hope this will help.
Regards.
