I can understand your concern for your health and I would like to tell you that from the symptoms explained by you, it seems like your are having IBS/irritable bowel syndrome.

Here are few things which I would like to ask

1. Your age
2. Since how long you are experiencing these symptoms
3. Are the stools hard or it’s sort of diarrhoea
4. Is there any pain in abdomen during that time
5. Any other medical issues like diabetes or anaemia or thyroid disease

Kindly provide the required information.

You need to do following things:
1. Increase intake of fibers in your diet by adding salad and green leafy vegetables.
2. Also water intake needs to be improved.
3. Avoid taking fried, oily, spicy and junk food for couple of weeks.
4. Tablet Pantoprazole 40mg empty stomach in morning for 7 days
5. Tablet Oflox Tz once daily for 5 days at a fixed time.
6. Cap Bifilac twice daily for 5 days 2 hours before taking Oflox-Tz

Get back to me after 5 days. Also make sure that you are getting a sound and timely sleep.
