Suggest Treatment For Loose Bowel Movement And Pain

Posted on Mon, 6 Apr 2015

Question: Don't know how to express my problem. I had a extremely loose bowel movement early today that was almost like water with a little bowel mixed in. My movement was like some had put a hose in my upper area of my intestines and turned on the hose under high pressure which resulted in the very fast discharge of the bowel contents. Tonite I had another one, but not quite as bad, but still fast and runny. I'm 73 yrs old. Don't know if it is relevant, but last nite I ate Thai which had a very high content of peppers and onions and a omelet this morning with peppers and onions as well.
