Hi ! Good morning. I am Chat Doctor answering your query. If I were your doctor, I would go for a routine stool test of yours for any ova/cyst. I would also advise you for a diet high in roughage and enough liquids and avoid eating from outside to avoid intestinal infections. If the routine investigations are normal and the symptoms persist or increase, I would refer you to a gastroenterologist for an endoscopic evaluation of your intestines specially the colon. Till all these are done, I would advise you for some kind of anti-spasmodic and a probiotic Chat Doctor. Further management would depend on the reports of a clinical examination and investigations. I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts. Thanks for choosing Chat Doctor to clear doubts on your health problems. Wishing you an early recovery. Chat Doctor.
