General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello,

Your symptoms seem to be related to irritable bowel syndrome. I recommend using daily probiotics. I also recommend over the counter option in case of diarrhoea such as Imodium.

If the symptoms continue you should do a stool test and an endoscopy for further evaluation.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
