Hi XXXX,
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thank you for the query.
I understand your concern.
Well possibly you have irritable bowel syndrome - diarrheal type hence you have increased stool frequency.
Need not worry its possibly just an sensitive intestine that causes trouble to you.
it is frequently associated with sensation of excess gas formation in tummy.
Most of the investigations have already being done worthwhile trying to do a thyroid function test and coeliac serology after consulting your treating doctor.
no need to repeat a colonoscopy if there is just an hyperplastic polyp in intestine.
it is unlikely to be trouble some in future too.
Lifestyle modification will help you.
1) Eating on time
2) Taking adequate sleep
3) Regular walking
4) Avoiding sleep 2 hours after meals
5) Cutting down on stress and anxiety
6) Drinking lots of water (3 L a day)
7) can try cutting down on fibre intake in food which might help in reducing gas.
All this will help you to control symptoms in long run.
Hope this answers your query.
Wish you a speedy recovery.
Happy to help.

Hi
Detailed Answer:
Thank you for the query.
1) continue rifaxamin for 4 weeks and stop
2) Nexitoplus is an antidepressant and anxiolytic which helps in the kind of symptoms you have by modulating the signals from tummy to brain.
3) coeliac serology is blood test to rule out gluten (food allergy to gluten in diet)
it is a simple blood test.
4) weight loss could be due to dietary restriction, try getting back to your normal diet and see how your weight improves, no point in repeating colonoscopy for that.
5) worthwhile doing a CT scan after consulting your gastroenterologist if the weight loss continues.
Best wishes
