Suggest Treatment For Diarrhea After Every Meal
Question: I seem to have to go to the bathroom within minutes of finishing meals. Diarrhea like symptoms. Just had chicken soup for lunch. Within minutes I had to go. It is starting too happen more frequently
Brief Answer:
Some advises and recommendations for your health issue.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thank you for posting your question to HCM,
Having bowel movement after meals, is rather normal, because its a compensatory reflex that the bowel has to prepare for the next meal.
Anyway, to have lose stool less frequently, I would recommend to:
-- Eat small amounts of foods but more frequent meals.
-- Avoid greasy, fried, spicy foods.
-- Drink lots pf water.
Anyway, what can give lose stool from time to time are the parasites in your bowel, so I would consider doing a stool for ova and parasite analyse.
Also, for you age, to rule out important things, its recommended to do routinely a stool for occult blood and a colonoscopy if you haven't already done.
If all comes negative, then the next most possible diagnose is irritable bowel syndrome.
Hope this is helpful.
Let me know if you need more clarifications. Otherwise please close and rate the answer.
Take care.
