I can say that in few days I started to feel better but again during the summer I felt stomach problem like burning bloating ,, and freqyent stools , a kind of dark and smelly stools,, so I repeated the h. pilory test again and results again positve now I am takeing medicals again ,,, but I still have that necessary to go often in toilet especially during mornings,,, some doctors said to me that this may be caused by stress conditions ,, or from what kind of food we eat etc. they say this seems to be more a kind of functional disorder than a desease.. so please can you give me any response for this conditions that I am passing through..

From your history, it apears that your suffering from Irritable bowel syndrome.
you may need some investications such as sigmoidoscopy/colonoscopy to rule out conditions such as malignancy and polyps. You may also need stool culture to rule out other diseases. As treatment you have to avoid stress. you can take tablet loperamide 2-4 mg daily for control of frequent stools. In addition, you can also take tablet hyoscyamine and amitriptyline
