What Causes Freqent Bowel Movements?

My bowel movements have changed in the last week. Gone from a good one to small feces. I was taking tagament for about a week once a day, and I had a bad fall, and ever since then I have had gas and 2-3 very minute bowel movements each day. I did take a laxative, but did not work.

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of frequent bowel movements which could be due to irritable bowel syndrome, gastroenteritis, lactose intolerance, giardiasis, poor metabolism of body, and food poisoning. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to take proper rest and avoid intake of any sharp, spicy and oily food. You should take over the counter anti histamine twice a day like benadryl , take antacid after every meal , take small and frequent meal. Start doing mild exercise n daily basis. If condition doesn't get well then consult pediatrician for proper examination. Doctor may prescribe omeprazole along with laxative. You should take oral rehydrating solution in diet. You should avoid lying down immediately after having food.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
