Detailed Answer:
Hi

Thanks for writing in

Primarily the information points to soome form of infection of the gastrointestinal track

As you WBC is on a higher side and you have frequency of stool along with lower abdominal pain chances are you have collitis.

I see you already have had normal stool culture. When was it done. Was a stool routine examination performed before the culture. And can you upload the reports to me using this site uploader.

I would like to review the stool reports before suggesting my opinion. In the mean time take a probiotic twice a day for minimum of seven days and an antispasmodic for pain

Hope this helps
Do write back in case of concern
