Hello XXXXXXX XXXXXXX

It is important to exclude irritable bowel syndrome in your case.
You need proper evaluation for recurrent fever.Besides routine blood examination,you need chest X-ray,Widal test(for typhoid fever) and ultrasound of abdomen.

You should take plenty of fibers and fluid with your diet.Anti motility drugs like loperamide can also be prescribed after evaluation.

It is good that blood sugar is now normal and you have quit smoking.
