output: hello I can totally understand your pain I have come across several patients with similar pain most of whom have undergone upper gi endoscopy and lower gi colonoscopy and some have found to have irritable bowel syndrome which is often missed if it is of the mild form it will be apparent on a colonoscopy only when it gets severe I see from your treatment history you have been treated for colitis or the infection of the bowel which is usually the most common diagnosis and subsides after the antibiotics in your case as it is chronic I would suggest a closer look and further investigation so starting with the simplest stool fob stool for ova test if both of them are inconsistent then we may think of irritable bowel syndrome you will have to modify your diet and find out if you have any food allergies avoid any kind of spicy diet and certainly avoid red meat for the time being I will also prescribe a medication which you can take it twice a day for a week and follow up I would like to know if you had any previous surgeries follow up with the stools tests
