What Causes Abdominal Bloating Along With Bowel Incontinence?
hi I have been feeling sick, bloated and feeling like i need the loo in sudden burst lately, I thought it was bananas as i realised it happened within 5 min of eating one, today it happened after eating a bar containing oligfructose, could i have developed an intolerence or allergy??????
Understanding your concern. As per your query you are having symptoms of abdominal bloating along with bowel incontinence that is making you uncomfortable. It could be due to irritable bowel syndrome, eating a lot of dairy products, some medications like antidepressants, acidity and due to lack of fibres in diet. Need not to worry. For now drink lot of water , do light exercises and avoid fatty and heavy meals. You should avoid intake of outside food. I would suggest you to consult gastroenterologist for proper examination. Doctor may order colonoscopy or other tests to look for blockages in your colon , barium studies and blood test for hormonal changes. Doctor may prescribe osmotic laxatives , stool softeners and medicine to reduce acidity.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes, Dr. Harry Maheshwari
