What Causes Frequent Diarrhea With Gas Problems?

Sometimes when I eat I'll get diarrhea and when I have the same thing the next day I won't. I'm always concerned about when I eat and what I eat. It can be any type of foods including chicken eggs steak potatoes. Sometimes i will get gas pains with it and sometimes there isn't any. What could be causing this?

Hello,

Getting diarrhea, gases and other bowel problems on eating specific things can be due to many problems like indigestion, intolerance or irritable bowel syndrome that is IBS (irritable Bowel Syndrome).

I would advise you the following in such a situation:
- Tests of blood, urine and stool
- CT scan of abdomen
- Colonoscopy and upper GI Endoscopy
- Any other investigations like Thyroid function tests

If all the investigations are normal, then this is most probably an IBS and control of stress and anxiety can help you the best. If anything is found along the investigations, then you will be treated accordingly.

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

Regards,
Dr. T Chandrakant
