Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted the history and understood your concerns.
As per the stool report that you have posted the following is the inference and management.
It is showing pus cells, mucus, vegetable cells indicating an intestinal infection and indigestion.
I would advise you the following in such a situation:
Get a course of an antibiotic active against intestinal infection, metronidazole and see the symptomatic relief.
If there is no complete relief then you may need further clinical evaluation, examination and investigations of colonoscopy and CT scan to know the exact cause of your problems so that a proper further management can be done.
In the meantime take probiotics, curds, rice, bananas.
Take a PPI like Omeprazole as you have hyper-acidity, antacids.
Soft bland diet.
Small frequent meals.
Boiled and cooled water and homemade foods only.
Get a proper further management to avoid recurrence.
