Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of frequent bowel movements. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like motility disorder, lack of fibres in diet, irritable bowel syndrome , gastroenteritis, lactose intolerance, medication reaction or side-effect, food poisoning or viral gastroenteritis.
Need not to worry. I would suggest you to
- Avoid eating heavy and spicy food substances.
- You should eat small and frequent meals.
- Take diet rich in probiotics.
- You should eat 1-2 banana in a day and take ibuprofen or acetaminophen for pain.
- You should take plenty of fluids in diet.
If condition doesn't get well then consult gastroenterologist for proper examination . Doctor may order certain tests like endoscopy and stool test and take history . Doctor may prescribe loperamide , ornidazole along with anti inflammatory .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
