Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
How To Treat Frequent Bowel Movements And Flatulence?
Have several bowel movements each day; sometimes several within an hour along with a lot of gas. Had surgical removal of 12 inches of large intestine a little over a year ago due to diverticular abscess. Is there a way to control this so that I can be on a routine?
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of frequent bowel movements along with flatulence which could be due to poor metabolism of body, lactose intolerance, and excessive intake of milk products. I would suggest you to take proper rest and avoid intake of any sharp, spicy and oily food. You should take over the counter anti histamine twice a day like benadryl , take antacid after every meal , take small and frequent meal. You should avoid lying down immediately after having food. If condition doesn't get well then consult gastroenetrlogist for proper examination. Doctor may prescribe omeprazole along with lopramide . You should take oral rehydrating solution in diet.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes, Dr. Harry Maheshwari
