Brief Answer:
A step by step approach needs to be taken.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

I understand your concerns and what you have been going through. However, my suggestions would be:
* Go for a colonoscopy (not upper GI endoscopy) if not already done.
* Try restricting ALL wheat based or related products (containing gluten) for a couple of weeks and see if that makes a difference.
* Take rifagut (rifaximin) 550 mg twice daily for 7 days after discussing with your doctor and see if it helps.
* Take PPIs off and on.
* Regular exercise is essential.
* Take rainbow vegetables and fruits (i.e. colorful ones).
