Hi doctor,
I am having bowel movements a lot more than normal for a week and today it has gone to the point where I went and came back after 10 minutes. I eat salads all of the time. I have the feeling that I really have to go and most of the time only a little comes out sometimes, a lot comes out and there is no consistent form in it. I had Clostridium difficile colitis before two years.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
Hope, you did not have any recent change in your diet habits and you are not taking any medicines which can potentially alter the bowel frequency. Transient changes in bowel frequency is a normal phenomenon. Nothing to worry much. Keep a close watch. You need to worry only, if you have watery stools, blood in stools or if you have pain associated. Other precipitating factors like anxiety, stress is needed to be ruled out. I suggest you a probiotic capsule (Darolac) once daily. Have a good diet with more salads and adequate water.

Thank you doctor,
I am not taking any medicines and I am following my regular diet. I have no pain. I have an uncomfortable feeling when I eat. It goes inside my stomach and then I need to go to the restroom. It is not fine for me as it is coming frequently.
Hi,
Welcome back to icliniq.com.
Up to four times a day is fine if, it is transient. Do not worry. Try to deviate your attention. Anxiety can also precipitate. Take probiotics for two weeks.
