Hello. Welcome to hcm
You might be having a infection or irritable bowel syndrome.
So i advice you to undergo a stool test to find out if there any protozoa or bacteria causing infection. Then the antibiotic can be changed according to the results. If all comes negative, then a endoscopy is a must with ultrasound.
Try to eat healthy and drink clean water. Avoid eating fried foods.
All the best
