Brief Answer:
Irritable bowel syndrome

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for your query.

I understand your concerns. You are most likely having Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS). It can be due to various causes like certain food, stress, hormones, other diseases like intestinal infections. This is nothing serious to worry about.

You can try some home remedies like:
- deep breathing exercises, physical exercises like walking/jogging
- Rich fiber diet (spinach, cucumber, carrot, banana, apple etc).
- Plenty of fluids.
- Eating at regular times.

If the loose stools are affecting your daily activities you can take Over-the-counter medications, such as "loperamide" (Imodium), can help control diarrhea. "Hyoscyamine" (Levsin) and "dicyclomine" (Bentyl), can help relieve painful bowel spasms. Pro-biotics (Yogurt) also helps.

If your symptoms persists or worsens it is best tp meet a physician for further examination and treatment.

I hope this answered your query.
