Hello concerned patient and thanks for writing to Hcm

I read your query and i understand your concern regarding multiple episode of bowel movement during a day

following details would have helped

Your age and sex?
your medical and drug history?
How long do you have this multiple bowel movements in one day?And is it associated with fever or abdominal pain?


Coming to your query,IF i were your treating doctor,the above symptoms would point to a diagnosis of irritable bowel syndrome and i would treat you empirically for the same with some medicines and diet modifications

i would empirically prescribe you an antibiotic like ofloxacin along with pantoprazole twice daily for a week and loperamide once a day for 5 days.
and
I would also advise you to slowly increase fibre content in diet or add psyllium along with colesevelam.

IF you were my patient,
i would also advise you to refrain from taking food items like wheat,rye, etc to rule out whether you have allergy to gluten in diet and also to not skip meals,take small frequent meals and stay hydrated

Hope all of this and clarifies your doubt
Followup if needed.
Take care and good day
