Hi,
From history it seems that he might be having chronic gastro-intestinal infection, either bacterial or protozoal giving this problem.
He might require one course of ofloxacilin, tinidazole medicine for 3-5 days.
This will relieve his complain of having constipation or diarrhea.
for pain antispasmodic medicine like Meftal spas or Cyclopam as needed.
Give him plenty of water.Avoid junk food and give more fiber containing food.
Ok and take care.
