Hello,
As per your clinical history is concerned please follow like this:
1) Do a clinical examination by your Doctor [Gastroenterologist] and do few tests like [Stool Exam and CT scan]
2) Try to eliminate high-gas foods like carbonated beverages, vegetables especially cabbage, broccoli and cauliflower and raw fruits.
3) Discuss with your dietitian to make a food chart by eliminating [FODMAPs] from the diet.
4) Discuss with your Doctor about [fluoxetine] and [rifaximin] and do take OTC probiotic regularly.
5) Regarding bowel motion discuss [Lubiprostone] as you have already tried all medications.
6) Make a plan to reduce stress by doing deep breathing, yoga, and meditations regularly.
Hope that helps.
