What Causes Diarrhea After Eating?
In the past couple of weeks I have had diarrhea probably 5 times. Also bubbly gut after eating. I am drinking lots of water, and eating more salads for lunch. But the diarrhea occurs also after eating normal meals. I just ate Noodles and company and had a severe case of diarrhea, and now I feel very weak.

Hi,
Thank you for your query. I can understand your concerns.
In a tropical country,if you are from,the first probability is intestinal amebiasis or giardiasis. Both these conditions can cause increased gastro-colic reflex (passing motion each time you have some thing).
Unwashed salads are often the contaminant source of infection.
Get your stool for routine examination done.
Meanwhile a course of Tinidazole 2 g/d PO with food for 03 days will help.
