Hello!

Thank you for the query.

What do you mean by all tests?
Such symptoms can be caused by chronic bacterial infection of intestines, hyperthyroidism, inflammatory bowels diseases, medicines, partial bowels obstruction due to colon cancer.
If you are older than 50, colon cancer should be ruled out at first. If you are younger person, inflammatory bowels disease should be considered.

I do not know what kind of test have you had. You should definitely have stool test, stool culture test, pancreas tests and colonoscopy.

Ask your doctor about Rifaximine treatment in case of chronic infection.

Hope this will help.
Regards.
I find this answer helpful
