Detailed Answer:
Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted the history and understood the concerns.
Noted that most of the tests are normal.

I would suggest you to undergo stool tests for three consecutive days and post the reports. This allows to find out any positive findings to be treated accordingly.
Also identify the stools that instigate or increase the problems.
What is the level of stress and anxiety?

Awaiting for the stools tests and your feedback.
