What Causes Diarrhea After Having Food?

Earlier this month I noticed when I would eat (depending on what id eat) id have diarrhea. I would use the start using the bathroom more than once. Sometimes 3 - 4 times with diarrhea. It comes and goes. Some days Iq am fine, some days I have this. The past two days I tested to see if maybe its my eating habits. I tried eating fruits, drinking smoothies, rice, some chicken etc. I have been fine for the most part the past three days. However, my stools would come out stringy sometimes. Then sometimes it wouldnt be stringy. Yesterday it wasnt, the day before it was. Today it wasnt early this morning, but this afternoon it was. I have not seen blood in my stools recently. I have though a few days ago but it was just tiny specs.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

It is good to know that you kept control over your food habits, stay away from addictions if any. It looks like gastroenteritis. Take antacids along with Pantoprazole-40, once daily. You should get CBC & Urine examination done to rule out the different pathogens (shigella, salmonella, etc.) that are causing the symptoms. Such symptoms can also be caused by IBS or Crohn's disease, you may have to go through more investigations if needed. Take antidiarrheals (Loperamide) & probiotics. Keep yourself well hydrated with water, ORS, juice & fruits.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
