Since you have maintained the weight and reports are negative as you have mentioned there is no recurrence of cancer as of now, so no worries, stress or anxiety as these are common causes of IBS that is irritable bowel syndrome. I can understand the stress one goes through. Continue the medications like Sompraz, Morese SR and Eldict. Also look for the foods and beverages that cause the problems and avoid these. Also make a list of foods and beverages that suit you or help in passing the normal motion and continue with these. Stop worrying as all the relevant tests are normal and this will help to get you relief.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards, Dr. T Chandrakant, General Surgeon
