I am unable to pass the stool as soon as I wake up since a month. I take tea and biscuits, then I am able to pass it, but with mild straining. Still I don't feel fully relieved. I have been taking 500mg of calcium since 2 months. Water intake is also around 4-5 glasses. My daily meal contains, tea and 2 biscuits in the morning, then a simple breakfast, 2 chappatis with vegetables in lunch, and then a bowl of dal at night. I feel, my diet's less. What to do, I am in tension!!
Since last two days, I'm having constipation due to which stools are too hard so I'm not able to freshen up. Like too little with quite some pressure. I am hydrating and walking. I bought Looz syrup which is Lactulose, it was given to one of my relatives for constipation. How much dosage should I take, like how much and when and for how long? I'm 25 years old, female. Also due to constipation I'm feeling bloated with a warm moving feeling inside my stomach. Or should I consult a doctor first, it's the third day.
I had fasted today till afternoon and from evening I have stomach pain which is unbearable. I ate my dinner thinking that it might be from not having food for entire day but it was still paining when I was eating. The pain is not continuous but when it comes and goes immediately it stings like hell
Hello Doctor, for the past 1 year, I have been passing loose stools 1 to 2 times every morning. The frequency is normal (only 1-2 times), but the consistency of the stool is completely loose.I do not have any fever, there is no blood in my stool, and I do not experience any gas or bloating. I have noticed a clear pattern with my diet: green vegetables and fruits do not suit me at all and worsen the loose stools immediately. However, I can easily digest milk, ghee, and wheat roti without any issues. Since this loose stool issue has been persistent for a full year, please guide me on what could be causing this and what diagnostic tests I should get done. Thank you."
My 50-year-old mother is experiencing an overactive gastro-colic reflex and rapid intestinal transit, causing an urgent need to pass loose, unformed stools almost immediately after consuming meals with medium spices, heavy oils, or outside food. She experiences a feeling of nutrient malabsorption and general weakness during these episodes, but her bowel habits normalize completely into well-formed stools whenever she rests and adheres strictly to a home-cooked bland diet. She currently does not exhibit any major red-flag symptoms such as a high-grade fever, severe localized abdominal pain, visible blood in the stool, but she definitely had some sudden weight loss and her cheeks look so flat and in pain it seems. What is the problem and how to rule out Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS-D) or food intolerances.
