Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I went through your query and understood your concern.

A lack of a fiber diet, more fatty foods, and less water can lead to such a clinical presentation. So, I suggest you follow the instructions mentioned below.

  • Include more fiber and fruits in your diet.
  • Drink lots of water.
  • Eat cooked oatmeal, which helps soothe the stomach.
  • Avoid excess spicy foods.
  • Avoid smoking and stress.

I also suggest you do a stool routine micro examination and an occult blood test.

I hope this has helped you.

Thank you.
