Hi, many thanks for the query!
Your picture fits more in "IBS", most common cause is stress.
You need to do- Stool (Culture & Sensitivity), CBC, LFT, ESR.
Investigations to rule out coeliac disease, Hydrogen breath test to exclude fructose/lactose malabsorption.
Do Yoga & Meditation.
Avoid milk & milk products, take a low FODMAP (Fermentable, Oligo-, Di-, Mono-saccharides And Polyols) diet & High Fibre diet.
Take antispasmodics, antacids with your doctor's opinion.
Wish you a good health.
Take care.
Regards.
