Hi,Dear !! Thanks for your query to HCM.

IBS with C, Entero-Colitis , Giardiasis with IBS, IBD with Ulcerative Colitis / and even Gall Stones.Besides this Fissure in ano, Proctitis with Crohn's, Anal Hemorrhoids,Celiac Disease,Lactose Intolerance.

Fixing the Diagnosis-
These possibilities need to be ruled out by physical examination from Surgeon / and from Physician, who would investigate by USG/CT abdomen, with lab tests.

More added information required from You-
For this to fix the cause,you need to give following information-

Did you had any such complaint in the past?Any nausea / vomiting feel is there?
Any acid reflux in chest with watering in mouth is there ?
HOw is the colour of your urine lately ?
How is the appetite-is it reduced? HOw about the sleep lately ?

Tests suggested-
Stool Ova/Cyst-for any amebiasis / or accompanied acute on chronic giardiasis.

General Do's - in your case-

Avoid fried / spicy and oily food
Be on Vegies with low solid contents
Exercise by brisk walk.
Do Deep Breathing
Take plenty of fluids.
Take hot black tea with lemon x 2 times
Bland, low volume diet with low solid contents.
All these would stimulate the evacuation reflex which seems to be blocked / paralysed from Entero-Colitis which is accompanied in your case.
Skimed Butter Milks with low fats x 2 times a day.

Treatment of Pimples-
Low fat diet,
Tab Ciplox with Metronidazole for pimples with abscess and for accompanied any entero-colitis from bacterial / parasitic infection.
Tab Librax-to relive pains and to treat any accompanied anxiety.
