I'm on medication for stomach tuberculosis and it's been nine months so far. I've heard that for stomach TB, you need to take the meds for at least a year to avoid the risk of MDR. Is that actually true?

I'm having some issues with my stomach. It doesn't clear all at once. I usually need to go back to the bathroom a couple of times in the morning and often again in the evening. Recently, I've noticed blood stains in my poop, and there's a lot of irritation near my anus area, making me think it might be piles. Plus, I've been farting a lot, and the smell is pretty bad. There are times I just suddenly feel like I need to rush to the bathroom. What do you think might be going on?
