How Can Irregular Bowel Movement And Abdominal Cramps Be Treated?

I have irregular bowel movement. Sometimes they are small formed stools. And after 4-5 days I have a stomach upset. Cramps. Needing to go frequently. Soft Smelly sticky stools. Sometimes they turn liquid after the fourth or fifth visit to the bathroom. If I m at home I just keep going. If it starts in the morning then by the afternoon I m ok and it stops. And I stay fine for 4-5 days after that. Then I get it again. If I have to go out I take an immodoum. Sometimes on 2 consecutive days. Then after a week I have another upset. Maybe there is an infection. Can I take a course of O2 to stop the infection? I also have severe acid reflux for which I take Veloz D on a need basis.
