Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
As per your history, it may be irritable bowel syndrome. You can take tab. loperamide, lactobacillus sachets after consultation. You may require colonoscopy for proper diagnosis and treatment, so consult with gastroenterologist. Take care.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Shyam B. Kale
