What Causes Abdominal Pain And Bowel Movement After Eating?
I ve had diarrhea every day a few times a day for the last two weeks. I eat and immediately I have to go to the bathroom. I have pain sometimes in my upper abdomen, I am bloated just about all the time my stomach starts gurgling all the way through to my colon. Sometimes I feel nauseous. I ve noticed that there is a bit of an oil slick floating at the top of my bowel movement. What s wrong?

According to your symptoms i can put probable diagnosis of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). however please consult surgeon before, so we can conclude confirm diagnosis of IBS. most commonly associated cause of IBS is stress. so avoid stressful situations and do meditation.
medicine used for IBS is tricyclic antidepressants. as these are prescription medicine you have to consult surgeon.
