Hello doctor! For about 20 days now, I often have abdominal pain, loose stools, sometimes 3.4 times, 1 or 2 times a day, but there are days when I don't go at all. About 3 months ago, I had an endoscopy and the doctor diagnosed me with gastritis. So the doctor told me that frequent abdominal pain, loose stools are caused by stomach or colon disease? Ask your doctor for advice and answers. I sincerely thank!
