Brief Answer:
irritable bowel syndrome

Detailed Answer:
hi
Thanks for the query
I can understand your concern

Based on the history given, according to my opinion you are having Irritable bowel syndrome, this usually associated with diarrhea or constipation. As soon you eat anything it stimulates bowel to pass stool.

Usually, with a few basic changes in diet and life style activities, Irritable bowel disease will improve over time.
1 Avoid caffeine (in coffee, teas, and sodas).
2 Add more fiber to your diet with foods like fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and nuts.
3 Drink at least three to four glasses of water per day.
4 Don't smoke.
5 Learn to relax, either by getting more exercise or by reducing stress in your life.
6 Limit how much milk or cheese you eat.
7 Eat smaller meals more often instead of big meals.
8 Keep a record of the foods you eat so you can figure out which foods bring on
bouts of this disease

If it is not reduced by following above instructions you may need to meet local doctor for further evaluation.

Dizziness is may be because of postural hypotenstion,in this as soon you gets up from lying position you feel dizzy,for this you need to sit for few seconds before getting up from the bed.
If your are having dizziness through out the day , you have to meet your local doctor and get done your routine BP , sugar levels and other blood routine tests done

i hope i have cleared your query
