What Causes Abdominal Bloating And Frequent Bowel Movements?

I have been having excessive gas and multiple bowl movements a day which is normal for me but my stool is not its normal consistency. I also have been getting cramps mostly on my left side even when I m not on my menstrual cycle. I just don t feel like myself lately and I have always had a very healthy diet and I m very active but I feel like I m gaining weight.

Hello,

It may be due to acute gastroenteritis or food intolerance or irritable bowel syndrome or infection or malabsorption syndromes etc.

Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is.

Use tab. Pantoprazole. Avoid spicy food, alcohol, smoking and caffeine drinks. Avoid gluten and lactose contain food. Use tablet Sporulac. If symptoms not improved please consult your physician he will investigate and treat you accordingly.

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