Detailed Answer:

Hi,
Welcome to Ask A Doctor service. Thank you for your query.
I understand your concern.

Worthwhile getting an stool routine and occult blood on two different days to rule out any infection .
In addition can take a course of probiotic like providac once a day for 14 days and rifaxamin (rifagut) 400 mg twice a day for 7 days.
In addition to this can increase dietary fiber intake and water intake.
Hope this answers your query.
Wish you a speedy recovery.
Happy to help.
