Reason For Diarrhea And Gas If Stomach Is Empty?

I have been having the problem that I cannot keep stomach empty for too long. My routine of eating has been fixed due to this. If I take a long break from eating, i would get diarrhea after two or three days . Also i am very gassy in the morning but have routine Bowel movements every morning after breakfast.

Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted the history and understood your concerns.
Regular wating or otherwise getting diarrhea after 3 days indicate that your body clock has been very well set.
Hence you have to maintain the timing of the foods you take at any cost to maintain the integrity.
Gsassy in the morning may be related to the following factors:
The anxiety or the stress the moment you get up causes aerophagia.
There can be mild intestinal infection, the bacterial flora getting disturbed the moment you get any changes.
Hence I would like the following in such a situation:
Get the stool and blood tested.
Ultrasonography of the abdomen.
This will find out the cause and if any get treated accordingly.
Stop all the aerated drinks as well as identify the foods that cause more gases for example the nuts, milk products any oily or spicy things and stop them altogether; you can identify these by trial and error basis.
I find this answer helpful
