What Causes Constant Dull Ache On Both Sides Of Abdomen?

Hi, I'd like to find out a little more about some symptoms I have been experiencing lately. I am a 40 year old mother of 2. Well I turn 40 this year. After my last period which was mid-Jan, I continued to experience a dull achy feeling in my lower abdomen. It ws more pronounce on the right side so when I visited the doc, he thought it could be an early onset of appendicitis. When I went to A&E and did a blood and urine test, the doc just told me that I have UTI and sent me home with anti-biotics. However, the ache still persists till today. It's a dull ache and actually I have it on both sides but stronger on the right. I have been feeling an increased feeling of needing to urinate and I have been urinating frequently. Recently, the past week, I developed stomach cramps and diarrhea for no reason. It's not like watery stools but very soft at time and watery at times. I seem to have like a lot of gas in my stomach, especially when I need to pass motion. I have been feeling very tired in the last couple of months that I find it more comforting not to go out and do things but to stay home and relax. I have been sleeping more in the past few months during the day when I normally am unable to do so. Could you advise?

soft diarrhea, stomach cramps, feeling of gas in the stomach can be due to disturbed GI flora of bacteria of the intestines.

I would advise you the following:
