Hello Altered bowel habits can be due to IBS which is frequently misdiagnosed as Amebiasis. In addition  SIBO needs to be thought off. You can discuss your case with me
Next Steps
Depending on your history most likely you will need stool exam with fecal calprotectin. Need for colonoscopy will be assessed after consultation
