Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

My stomach looks different every day. I exercise daily, and I do not eat more than 1600 calories. I am either constipated or have a liquid poo and a lot of gas. What is wrong with me?

Please help.

Thank you.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

From the description of your symptoms, I can make out that you suffer from IBS (Irritable bowel syndrome). This is very easy to treat. You will need a three-month treatment with an antibiotic called Rifaximine, probiotics, antacids, and a brain relaxing drug called Flupenthixol Melitracen. This treatment is for three months and you will be completely fine.

I hope this helps.

Kindly revert in case of further queries.

Thank you.
