Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice. The symptoms are most likely due to parasitic infestation. These are very difficult to pick up from one time stool testing and are easily missed. Do not worry. You may empirically treat this with nitazoxinide. Also give probiotics for early recovery.
Hopefully it will be of help. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care.
Regards,
Dr. Archana Verma
