Brief Answer:
Stool tests should be done.
Detailed Answer:
Hello.
Thank you for the query.
Such symptoms can be caused by some intestinal infection. Usually such infection does not need any treatment and goes away by its own.
As you have had some intestinal issues before, it would be good to have stool test and stool culture test. Rifaximine treatment and probiotic intake should be considered.
Hope this helps.
