Since about 3 months as soon as I eat I may have 6-8 bowel movements lasting 1 hour about every 5-10 minutes. following ingestion of food.or liquid. I also detected that if I drink milk, certain vegetables and fruits it produces the same. I have severe cramps, nausea, stomach cramps. No blood in my bowels. So far I eliminated oranges, orange juice, yogourt and all other juices, milk, ice cream, soups, certain vegetables and fruits. I consulted my family doctor and tests are being done. What could be the cause(s) ?
Brief Answer:
It could be IBS
Detailed Answer:
Hi
You had surgery 2 years ago.
Your complaints are from 3 months only.
Removal of 1 foot of intestine doesnot lead to much disturbance,that too after so many months
The symptoms go infavour of Irritable bowel syndrome(IBS).
You should not be tense and anxious.
I prescribe Pre and probiotic capsules along with antispasmodic to my patients with similar complainrs till symptoms subside.
Your thyroid hormone levels should be kept normal.In hyperthyroidism,there will be excessive movement of bowels leading to hyperdefecation.
Let me know the results of your tests.
Wish you good health
Regards
