What Causes Abnormality In Bowel Movements?

Hi, I have been having unusual bowel movements since last August. I feel like I need to use the bathroom and when I do, there s not much there. I will sometimes feel like this 4-5 each morning. Also, I generally go to the bathroom pretty soon after I eat and I ve tried to watch to see what types of food bothers me the most and haven t found any particular pattern.

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of abnormality in bowel movements which can occur due to many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like gastroenteritis, food intolerance, food allergies, irritable bowel syndrome, appendicitis and giardiasis. Need not to worry. You should take small and frequent meals and avoid taking large meals at at time. For now eat light and non spicy , take antacid after every meal, drink plenty of water and take light walk after every meal. You should take oral rehydrating solution as well. I would suggest you to consult gastroenterologist for proper examination. Doctor may order ultrasound , endoscopy or stool test. Doctor may prescribe antacids along with proton pump inhibitors such as omeprazole , laxative , ornidazole or albendazole.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
