Brief Answer:
Tests need to be done.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for the additional information.
Most of the symptoms point towards irritable bowel syndrome.
Only the duration is less.
You need to undergo a few tests.
1. Complete blood count.
2. Stool analysis
3. Tissue transglutaminase antibody test
4. Blood glucose test
5. Thyroid function test
6. Upper GI endoscopy and small bowel biopsy.

You can discuss with your gastroenterologist about these tests.

Meenwhile you can take Iladac -L, Librax and VSL#3 for relief.

Dr.R.K.
