1] What are the problems that you face when you eat green vegetables and milk ?
Answer : There is sudden gush of movements/heavy sounds inside abdomen when I drink milk and then start formation of lot of gas and flatulence. Later stool also passes out in segments and bursts.
When I eat green leafy vegetables, the symptoms are not instant but next morning the motions are with lot of inflammation in the anus and undigested leaves in toilet.

So in both cases lot of discomfort.

2] DO the symptoms come consuming green vegetables and milk individually or when both are consumed together ?
Answer : They are also present individually.

3] How are the symptoms relieved ?
Answer : Symptoms are relieved after 8-10 hours when VSL3 is taken along with low quantity normal diet/skipping a meal along with complete cut on dairy and green vegetables.
It also happens that if I continue on low diet for couple of days even without taking VSL3 then also symptoms are relived.

4] Is there any other product which causes same symptoms when consumed with milk and green vegetables ?
Answer : Sweets ( Mithai ), fruits like XXXXXXX banana, grapes , apples, large quantities of cucumber, raw onion etc etc. ( Practically every second thing on earth which I eat.
But things which are subtle in sweetness or sourness like sweet potato does not cause such symptoms and properly digestible.

5] Do you have any other bowel symptoms ?
Always feeling uncomfortable inside stomach and large intestine area, and continuous gaseous formation and continuous flatulence. ( Urge for multiple motions )

Brief Answer:
Could be COllitis and/or IBS

Detailed Answer:
Hi

Thanks for a detailed account of your problem

What I gather from your history is that you have indigestion along with collitis and/or IBS

As a routing I would like to get your CBC with ESR, Stool Culture, Urine Culture and if need be a colonoscopy

In the mean time I would start with the following :

Tab Levofloxacillin with Ornidazole twice a day for 10 days
Tab Aristozyme before breakfast and dinner for 10 days - TO continue after a followup
Cap VSL 3 twice a day for two weeks

These are prescription only medications.

Get back to me once your reports are ready
Wishing you a healthy life ahead
