Hi. Attached are the reports , bowel is passing but its like not complete avacuation and alot of gases, i had occult test before that was negative and this time after 3 months it came positive. Some times im very normal and dont have gas or any problem and stool is passing normal but other days its like little loose and irritates my anal as well and causes gases.
Brief Answer:
Take a proper course of an antibiotic and probiotics.
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for the reports.
Few pus cells, RBC and undigested food indicate that there may be mild infection of the intestines.
And this can be well treated with a proper course of an antibiotic, metronidazole and probiotics.
Continue with probiotics, multivitamins for a longer duration of time and you may be normal again.
Whenever you will have reintroduction of an infection you will have symptoms.
Hence try to take only home made foods, cooked fresh.
Make a list of the foods and beverages that instigate or enhance your problems and avoid them.
If you get the next attack of the problems, notify the factors that caused it.
I hope this answer helps you.

Brief Answer:
Natural process.
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your appreciation.
The urge of passing stool or gas is due to the passage or push down of the gases and/or stool by the intestine as per the sensory influx it gets from the intestine.
In this regards the intestine is more sensitive to ballooning by the gases than the stool and hence it is passed down faster and you get the urge. Since it is the air/gases only, it passes out. If the stool is not in the rectum it will not pass out.
I hope this simplifies your query.
This is bit of a natural normal process that goes on for everyone.
If there is bleeding from the GI tract, there would be occult blood positive. To get to the cause. Ideally the stool should be tested on three consecutive days. Consumption of meat, iron, food rich in iron can also cause false occult blood positive.
