Have Diarrhea, Soreness In Ribs, Have Burps, Bloating, Been Depressed. Reason?

For the past couple of weeks every time I eat I have diarrhea within an hour of finishing my meal, this is usually worse with my evening meal. The diarrhea is very runny, i.e.like muddy, and can come on so fast i don't even have time to make it to the restroom. Sometimes it appears to have an oily residue that floats on the water also. I have a soreness up in my ribs area and after expelling I have terrible burping which leaves bubbles in my mouth that I have to spit out. I have also seemed quite bloated and if I jiggle my bloated belly it seems to relieve some pain and brings on more diarrhea. I have no fever, no headaches to speak of, I have had a bit of depression, I have a good appetite but then after i eat.............watch out !!! Any suggestions ???

Hi, it appears to be the irritable bowel syndrome. when ever there is stimulus to the stomach with food you will pass stools. There is psychological effect also, as you think more you get the effect more .
I to my patient with such symptoms i prescribe ranitidine 300 B.D. and alprazolam .5 for some time.
Avoid taking spices, junk foods, and oily foods. Thank you.
