Brief Answer:
Irritable Bowel Syndrome
Detailed Answer:
Welcome to Healthcaremagic.
Hi, I am Dr Anshul Varshney , I have read your query in detail , I understand your concern.
You seem to be suffering from Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) and that is the reason behind your all complaints.
There are three types of IBS:
1. Constipation Predominant.
2. Diarrhea Predominant.
3. Mixed Variety.
You seem to be having Diarrhea Predominant variety of IBS.
IBS is a diagnosis of exclusion, so i would recommend you to get tested for Thyroid and diabetes to be sure that that is not causing the trouble.
If you have any associated weight loss or anemia, then you would also require evaluation for celiac disease.
If every thing is normal, you would require treatment for IBS.
I would advise following in such scenario:
1. To take a proton pump inhibitor like Pantoprazole Or Omeprazole along with Domperidone.
2. To avoid fat, pepper in diet.
4. To take Smooth Muscle Relaxant like Mebeverine, that helps in associated stomach pain as well as diarrhea.
5. Drugs like chlordiazepoxide and clidinium bromide are used in resistant cases.
See your doctor, and share my opinion, he would prescribe you these medicines.
This is my personal opinion based on details available here. If you still have any other query, you may please ask me.
Stay Healthy.
