Brief Answer:
Probably Collitis and/or Gastritis

Detailed Answer:
Hi

Thanks for writing in

The information you have provided suggests a possibility of collitis and/or gastritis

I would suggest you avoid junk, fried, fermented and spicy meals

Add a good probiotic twice a day, an antacid antiflatulent two tsf three times a day

If this does not relieve go for stool examination and a CBC and accordingly start antibiotics

Hope this helps
