I have never had normal stools, they are always loose. Currently, I am experiencing mild abdominal pain and slight bloating. My stool test came back normal, but the local doctor could not help. What could be the cause, and what should I do?

Chronic loose stools with normal tests could be IBS. Track diet triggers, reduce dairy and spice. Consider gut flora imbalance.

Respected Doctors, I have been diagnosed with proctosigmoiditis. Can it lead to cancer in the future without treatment? I do not have any symptoms. Should I worry about this? Some doctors say it is only piles, while others say it is proctosigmoiditis. Please provide a correct and genuine answer. I am attaching my colonoscopy report.

I have been having abdominal pain for the last three months. I did a stool test, and it shows WBC 3 to 4 per HPF. What does this mean?
