Hi and thank you for asking!
You are reporting to have soft and in seperated pieces stools with abdominal pain .
These symptoms may be due to:
- Gastrointenstinal candida overgrowth /parasites
- diverticulitis
- IBS
If I were your treating doctor I wouls uggest to start your investigation with :
- fecal culture test for candida and parasites infection
- colonoscopy ( after ruling out large bowel infection)
Meantime I would suggest to start probiotics for at least 2 weeks.
Hope it was helpful to you.
