Brief Answer:
Most probably Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thank you for writing back. I have gone through your answers. My provisional diagnosis in your case will be Irritable Bowel Syndrome(IBS). IBS is mostly caused by stress & anxiety or it could be idiopathic. There is absolutely no need to worry. Combine following general & medical advise and you will improve:
1. General:
> Stress is in everyone's life but if it overpowers you then it will start causing problem. So try to remain calm and stress free.
2. Dietary Advise:
> Take high fiber diet (peas, beans, broccoli, etc) including psyllium (ispaghul hask)
> Avoid:
* fatty food & caffeine products
* Spicy food.
* Fruits & salads for the time being.
3. Medical Advise:
> Loperamide 2 mg orally thrice a day
Conclusion:
IBS is a condition that occurs due to multiple causes, most common include stress, anxiety, drug or hormone induced. So it will automatically improve as soon as you take care of cause. If condition does not improve after taking this management then i would suggest you to visit a Gastroenterologist in your area. He will perform some tests like stool examination, sigmoidoscopy, etc to rule out any pathology.
Hope I have answered your query. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help if not then don't forget to close the discussion and rate it.
Wishing you good health !!
