IBS or something else ,
I have been suffering stomach problems for about 7–8 years, but in the last 2 months the symptoms got worse.
Symptoms:
Loss of appetite
Mild nausea
Slight abdominal pain — sometimes in the upper abdomen, sometimes in the lower abdomen (usually more in the lower abdomen)
Stool is soft , with mucus/jelly-like material, sometimes a little blood (though I have hemorrhoids)
Upper abdomen feels slightly bloated
For the last 5–7 days I feel feverish, but the thermometer does not show fever
After consulting a doctor, he considered it as IBS and prescribed Razo 20, Normaxin, and Rifagut-400. I have been taking them for about 15 days — I feel a bit better, but not completely.
Investigations done:
USG of whole abdomen – Normal
Stool R/M and occult blood test report: blood in stool – Negative; parasite (cyst) – Entamoeba histolytica

Hello Sir,
Since your ultrasound is normal and stool occult blood is negative, the main finding is Entamoeba histolytica, which can cause mucus in stool, abdominal pain, and long-standing digestive issues. IBS medicines may help partly, but proper treatment for this parasite is important for complete relief.
If more questions are in your mind, you can contact me on WhatsApp at nine one one nine two five five six nine nine for free consultation.
