You should take Rifaximine tablet 200mg twice daily, if Ofloxacin and Metronidazole doesn't work.
In addition, you should take a Pre and Probiotic capsule twice daily till the symptoms subside.
Avoid outside food,spicy food, carbonated drinks, caffeine products etc.
Nothing to worry. It will come down.

Brief Answer:
Please take high fiber diet.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Without clinical examination I would not be able to identify the cause. However based on your description the two close possibilities are irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) or Colonic infection.
I prefer Rifaximine tablet along with Metronidazole tablet. I also add Pre and Probiotic capsule to my patients with similar complaints. Discuss about these options with your treating doctor.

Because of the frequent stool, it is burning. You can apply Ointment containing Sucralfate and Lidocaine.
You should be free and relaxed.
Nothing to worry.It will come down.

Wish you good health.
