Brief Answer:
Need some clarification

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Your symptoms seem to be due to Irritable bowel syndrome( IBS) as you have mentioned.
Have you also got a stool microscopic examination and stool for occult test done? If not then I would suggest to get these stool tests done.

I need a few clarifications
1 how long have you had these symptoms?
2 have you lost weight recently( past 6 months)?
3 have you noticed any blood in stools?


In case there is presence of blood in the stool examination then you would need screening for colonic cancer

In case these symptoms are long standing and you have not lost weight and there is no blood in the stools( even on stool microscopy examination) then it is likely to be due to the IBS.
In that case I would advise fibre supplementation like psyllium husk which will help to normalize the stool consistency.
In such cases I usually prescribe a probiotic like VSL3 to my patients.
In case the symptoms persist an antibiotic like rifaximin would be the next step. As these are prescription medications I would advise you to consult your doctor for a prescription.
I would advise you to avoid milk and milk products like cheese, cabbage and beans as these can cause flatulence and bloating
Hope this helps

Avoid the foods I have mentioned in my previous answer,till your symptoms improve
