What Causes Incomplete Bowel Movements?
Question: What could be the cause of bowel movement urgency that results in little poop that comes out in an explosive blow? Been going on for nearly 3 weeks. Feel need to go then the explosive release with little there. Don't feel bloated, but do not feel completely emptied. There are some normal bowel movements in between, moreso more recently. The remnants in these false movements have gotten lighter in color and fluffier in constitution.
Brief Answer:
May be due Gastritis, Capsule omeprazole and non pharmacological measures
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome
I have gone through your query.
Increased gas in the intestines is the cause for explosive bowel movements. The gas is secondary to increased acidity causing gastritis.
I suggest you to take antacids which would surely help you by neutralizing the stomach acid. Gelusil would be a better choice.
Capsule omeprazole 20 mg twice daily half an hour before food for 15 days.
I'll mention few non pharmacological measures that will be beneficial.
Avoid alcohol, smoking and tobacco if any.
Avoid spicy and oily food for few days.
Avoid carbonated beverages, coffee, tea.
Avoid eating large meals at ones, eat small frequent meals, avoid starving.
Add more fibres to your diet, restrict the intake of meat.
Do not lie down immediately after food , walk for few minutes.
Take curd, it will be beneficial. Take probiotics like sporolac or ecobion.
Follow this measures it should be beneficial. If the symptoms persist then we have to go for stool examination.
Hope this helps
Take care

What do you think the root cause of this could? Never had GI issues, always very regular. How about apple cider vinegar? Could it help with the acidity?
Brief Answer:
ACV may help but it's effectiveness is not known
Detailed Answer:
Hi mat
Welcome
Good to hear from you.
You may try using apple cider vinegar (ACV) to relieve acid reflux symptoms, but there's no guarantee it will work.
So I would suggest you to follow measures as suggested earlier. The cause of acidity is multifactorial. May be stress, eating habit. etc.
But I feel with the above mentioned measures you should be fine.
Hope this helps
