What Causes Abdominal Bloating And Chronic Diarrhea?

For the last six months I have had lots of gurgling in my gut, cramping, bloating, and extremely loose explosive bowel movements. The morning is the worse using the bathroom off and on for an hour. I don t feel like eating and so I usually eat around noon or so. I ve tried to figure out if it s certain food groups and so far it seems like it doesn t matter. During the day when I eat I m in the bathroom sometimes before I even finish eating. I ve been taking pro-bionics the last couple months and thought it was helping although my bowel movements were still explosive just not as often but now it seems to be back to the same. I have a hard time going anywhere without having an accident trying to get to the bathrooom.

Combination of bloating and diarrheas is nonspecific sign but it may indicate certain disorders especially inflammatory bowl diseases.

Certain degree of bloating is normal but in case of excessive bloating it may be sign of food allergy, hiatal hernia ,IBS or inflammatory bowel diseases. So you should do gastroenterologic work up but first try to change your dietary habits.
it means: eat smaller meals but more frequently, avoid fried and spicy food, take menta tea, avoid alcohol and coffee, eat probiotics and milk products, boiled food and vegetables. Also, there are medications such as Flobian,Magnesium oxide or certain Laxatives which may relieve such symptoms of this continue.
