Brief Answer:
It could be small bowel bacterial overgrowth
Detailed Answer:
Hi An4749,
I am sorry to hear about your troubles. What you describe could be small bowel bacterial overgrowth. Gallstone disease, lactose intolerance, celiac disease, etc. should however be ruled out. I suggest you see your doctor for blood tests (celiac antibodies, hemohlobin, liver function tests), breath test for gut bacteria, ultrasound for detecting gallstones, and a gastroscopy to diagnose reflux, gastritis, etc.
Hope this helps.

couldnit be something sinister?
also i have a prolapsed external hemorrhoid and get worse even with diarrhea. had it for years and so itchy. but the pain is getting stronger and stronger. i inserted to feel for any lumps and felt poo. is that normal?
Brief Answer:
Nothing sinister.
Detailed Answer:
Hi again,
It is nothing sinister. I recommend you see a surgeon for your hemorroid, it is probably grade 3, suggesting you need rubber band ligation or some form of excision. What you describe on rectal examination sounds normal.
Hope this helps.
