HI
Well come to HCM
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, of course it could be IBS but it is finally labeled it is better to ruled out the infection or condition can be managed empirically with anti-protozoa drug but antibiotic can be added as the diagnosis not confirmed it can be alone protozoa infection or bacterial infection or both all together, and I would suggest to try Tab Metronidazole 400 mg +Doxycycline twice in day for five days, hope this information helps.
