What Causes Frequent Bowel Movements?

I have been having very soft, very frequent bowel movements. I ve had accidents while driving because I can t make it from place a to b without uncontrollable bowel movements. It s not complete diarrhea but very soft. I m eating a bland diet, taking tums, and Tylenol. I have kidney and bladder that limits me from taking some medicines. I m at my wits end. I feel like I m dealing with anorexia. If it goes in my mouth, it comes out immediately only the wrong end.

Hi Dear,

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of frequent bowel movements which could be due to irritable bowel syndrome, gastroenteritis, poor metabolism of body, and lactose intolerance. 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. You should take oral rehydrating solution in diet. You should avoid lying down immediately after having food. If condition doesn't get well then consult gastroenterologist for proper examination. Doctor may prescribe omeprazole along with laxative.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
