What Causes Loose Bowel Movements?

For the last 5 - 6 mos. I have very loose bowel movements; in the morning as I get up I have to go 4 to 5 times sometimes.. During the day three more times. not diarrhea, but I am very concerned. I don t eat fried food. I eat chicken, fruits, veggies (most of the time organic). I have no pain. Thank you, Ana Maria

Hi,

You might be having gastrocolic reflex, impairing your gastric emptying time. We have to rule out medical causes by detailed history and stool examination for parasitic infestations.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Sanjay Kumar, Diabetologist
