Brief Answer:
Possible IBS
Detailed Answer:
Hello, Sir.
I can certainly understand your concerns.
I have worked through your query in detail.
With regards to your symptoms, the possibility of Irritable bowel syndrome/IBS
mixed variety is very high.
This needs a routine intake of dietary fiber for at least 4 days a week.
For this, I recommend Isphagula husk tsps in water at bedtime daily for at least 2 to 3 weeks.
This should be coupled with regular intake of fruits, oatmeal and 20 min physical exercise/day.
Acid reflux need regular monitoring.Recurring symptoms need an Endoscopy.
Post your further queries if any.
Thank you.
