What Causes Bouts Of Diarrhea Post Intake Of Food?

I am experiencing diarrhea almost evertime after I eat. Not immediately, but when its time to go. I have been paying close attention in trying to determine if it is due to specific foods, and it doesn t seem to be any one thing. I eat very healthy, watch my fats, calories, no sauces, no dairy other than greek yogurt, lots of vegetables and lean proteins. What should I be looking to do about this? And if a doctor is suggested, what type of doctor do I see? Thank you

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,

Thank you for the query and welcome to Healthcaremagic!

In order to help you i will need some more information about you like since when are you having this complaint of diarrhea? any stress or tension? Have you done any test yet? Are you on any medicine or any recent intake of antibiotics? How are the stools watery/loose/solid ?any blood in them?

The common cause of recent ( less than 3 weeks )onset of increased stool frequency is stress related, infections, recent antibiotic use. To help in this case do relaxation exercise, avoid the overuse of antibiotics and take probiotcs along with antibiotics to avoid this complaint.

If it has been a long standing complaint then you will need examination and test like ESR, colonoscopy by a local gastroentrologist to find out the cause of frequent stools.

Hope this cleared your query. Contact back for any future questions. Takecare!
