Hi and thank you for asking on HCM!
I read carefully all your concerns and I understood your query.
You are reporting to have abdominal cramps , stomach pain and soft stools.
These symptoms may be related with :
- GI infection
- SIBO( intestinal bacterial overgrowth syndrome)
- malabsorbtion like Celiace
- IBS ( irritable bowel syndrome)
I need to know if your symptoms has been aggravated from any specific food? do you have mucous on stools, blood on stools?
Otherwise at your situation I would suggest to do :
- fecal culture test
- fecal test for malabsorbtion
- blood work
- abdominal ultrasound
- serological test for Celiace disease
- upper and lower ednoscopy.
Meantime i suggest to start :
- probiotics
- avoid sugar and fatty foods
- use antispasmodic drugs like Nospa
- continue to use omeprazole
Hope it was helpful to you!

Hi.
Thanks for the help and great answer, couple of months back i did few blood test and stool test they were normal but i did stool test sevral times only once it came loose stool otherwise to me the stool was way very soft but stool test report said consitency is normal. Even i did hpylori test in blood and stool and both reports were normal. One of the doctor said it is disfunction of digestive system. When i take fibers in water then my stool becomes good and not very soft and in normal shape. Some doctors are giving only those test which they think is important not those test which i ask them for as i try to have then on my medical insurnace. Do you think this is serious disease and will i face this result of my life ?

Hi back
Sorry for my late!
you are reporting to have done stool tests and it was normal.
You are reporting that when you use fibers in your diet than your stools are normal.
It makes me think that your symptoms are hightly associated with your diet.
This is why I suggest to change lifestyle and increase water and fibers intake.
Hope it was helpful to you.

Hi back
Thank you for giving more of your medical information.
If I were your treating doctor since you have lost 7 kg per 12 months than I would suggest doing :
-fecal test for malabsorbtion
- blood work
- abdominal ultrasound
- serological test for Celiace disease
- upper and lower endoscopy.
Otherwise meantime I suggest to avoid stress and try to take rest, since these are two more common causes of weight lost.
Hope it was helpful to you.
