What Causes Frequent Bowel Movements And Passing Pale Stool?
Hi I seem to have a lot of bowel movements throughout the day. Most of the movements are runny and stick to the side of the toilet and some are small pencil like shape. After Christmas I done a detox for a few days, where I was just eating nuts, berries and fruit and my stool turned white. I m also farting quite a lot and the smell is very harsh and egg like. Thanks Paul

Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of frequent bowel movements and passing pale stool. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like indigestion , gastritis, peptic ulcer , gastroenteritis , anxiety disorder , food poisoning , irritable bowel syndrome or lactose intolerance. Need not to worry. You should avoid taking outside food. You should take diet rich in fibrous food. I would suggest you to eat light and non spicy , avoid dairy products , avoid food like nuts and seafood and take light walk after every meal. Consult gastroenterologist for proper examination. Doctor may order endoscopy , stool test along with ultrasound. Doctor may prescribe omeprazole , ornidazole along with anti inflammatory medications.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
