Hello,

The given symptoms could be due to the protozoa infection and it can be managed with single dose therapy of tab Secnidazole, if this is the IBS condition also you have then it may interfere with infection so just try come out of the stress and no need to be overconscious whatever the symptoms you have all that going to be alright later or sooner.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
