I have been experiencing sticky and loose stools for some time, and over the past week, my food is not digesting properly. My stomach feels full and bloated, and I also suffer from severe acidity. Recent tests show ESR of 20 and C reactive protein of 4.5, and I have attached two other test reports. Could you please advise what might be causing these symptoms and the next steps for diagnosis or treatment?

Sticky, loose stools with bloating and acidity may indicate gastritis, infection, or IBS. ESR (20) and CRP (4.5) are mildly raised and may suggest inflammation but are non specific. A stool routine and microscopy test can help detect infection or malabsorption. A stool occult blood test may be advised if symptoms persist. Eat light, low fat meals and stay hydrated while awaiting reports.

I am a 29 year old single female. I have been experiencing stomach pain and diarrhea for several months. I consulted a gastroenterologist, who suggested that stress or IBS might be causing these symptoms. He prescribed Tab Novamcin RT, Cap Imodium, and Tab Revortil. After taking the medicines for a month, my pain and bowel issues improved. However, now I feel a heaviness above my navel. My doctor repeated some tests: TSH: 1.71 CRP: 3.46 mg/L Hemoglobin: 11.3 g/dL ESR: 110 mm/hr PCV/Hematocrit: 35.5 percent RDW(CV): 15.2 The doctor prescribed the same medicines again and added Tab Meganeuron OD, but the heaviness around my navel persists.
