Hi there,

Thanks for your query.

From the brief details provided, you are apparently suffering from either :-

* Irritable Bowel Syndrome ( regular anti-depressants + anti-anxiety drugs + Probiotics and digestive enzymes; plus PPIs will help)

* A bacterial (H.pylori) infection of stomach and intestine. Diagnosed by endoscopic biopsy of stomach lining. A 2-3 weeks' course of clarithromycin + tinidazole + PPIs will cure the disease.

Discuss my opinion with your gastroenterologist. He would know what course of action would be best for you.
