Question
Hello doctor,
I often have stomach cramps, usually after eating, going to the toilet many times a day (3 - 5 times), broken stools, small stools, a little bit, no mold, time to go long cleaning. In 2020, I had a colonoscopy and gastroscopy, found ileitis, irritable bowel syndrome, gastritis hp (+) and 2 papillomas 5-7mm in the anal canal.
I took medicine for a while, the gastritis disappeared, Hp (-) but the above symptoms still have a bad influence on my life. I normally don't drink alcohol, coffee, soft drinks, don't eat spicy food, don't smoke.
So the doctor told me how to cure abdominal cramps after eating with broken stools? I thank the doctor.
