Detailed Answer:
Hello dear
Welcome to HCM and thanks for the query
I understand your concern and sorry to hear about your problem

Your symptoms could be due to Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS),
Bacterial overgrowth in intestine, Malabsorption, Celiac disease.
I would suggest to consult the authorized gastroenterologist and undergo
Blood test like: CBC, ESR, barium meal study, LFT, serology test for celaic disease and colonoscopy if needed
Stool routine, microscopic and calprotectin.
Hydrogen breath test to rule out malabsorption.

Following treatment will helpful:

Tablet dicyclomine 20 mg twice daily
Tablet imipramine 25 mg at bedtime
Tablet rifaxim 550 mg three times a day
Sublingual tablet of Vitamin B12 and folic acid
Take soluble fiber like senna
Take small frequent meal rather than large meal
Drink plenty of water (4-5 L/day)
Avoid spicy/oily/fatty food
Do regular exercise like walking, running, 45 minutes in the morning followed by meditation for 20 minutes. Avoid stress.

Consult the gastroenetrologist to share my opinion and take proper prescribed drugs.
