Digestion Problem
Since the last 1.5 yrs after being diagnosed with Jaundice I have been suffering from some nasty digestion problems. My jaundice got cured within 3 weeks of treatment but digestion problems persist. No matter what food I eat I get bloating, heaviness and discomfort in my stomach. I also have 3-5 bowel movements per day which is not at all normal for me. My stool is loose and there are sometimes large undigested particles in the stool, also the quantity of stool is big. I have no stomach cramps/pain, no blood in the stool, no fever, no weight loss. My problem gets worse if I eat fibre rich food otherwise it remains under control. I went to doc, he did many tests but everything is normal. No infection, nothing abnormal found in ultrasound therapy (except fatty liver which is pretty common I guess), no thyroid, no diabetes, HIV tests are negative. What can it be? Colitis? Crohn's disease? IBS? I'm so confused!

Hi.... Eat at regular times. Don't skip meals, and try to eat about the same time each day to help regulate bowel function. If you have diarrhea, you may find that eating small, frequent meals makes you feel better. But if you're constipated, eating larger amounts of high-fiber foods may help move food through your intestines. Take care with dairy products. If you're lactose intolerant, try substituting yogurt for milk. Or use an enzyme product to help break down lactose. Consuming small amounts of milk products or combining them with other foods also may help.
