Hi I Have Some Questions Regarding Digestive Problems
Question: Hi I have some questions regarding digestive problems
I had question with my digestive system . I used the restroom twice today and the first was normal but noticed the 2nd was lighter than usual. More like very light or golden and maybe clay type . Not white for sure and noticed more undigested food in the stool also the second time around . I have Gerd an IBS , I take nexum for Gerd and Ativan for anxiety and also probiotics. I have been in good healthy diet and watching my fat and carb intake but ate of lot fat fried food the night before . Should I be considered or is that my food just didn’t get the time to digest. But stools were also formed normal . Not loose or anything . Just trying not to worry or panic

Hi and thank you for asking!
I read carefully all your concerns and I can say as follows:
1. You are reporting about light stools and not digested food on stool. On the other hand you have had fat fried foods the night before.
In patients like you with IBS fat and fried foods aggravates the symptoms increasing large bowel peristalsis and fast bowel movements.
This is why your food didn't get the time to digest because bowel movement were more than normal.
2. There is nothing to be worried because it may happens after fatty foods.
Probiotics are a good choice for IBS.
Otherwise if I were your treating doctor I would suggest to use sodium butyrate capsules twice per day,, it regulates the frequency of defecation, normalize peristalsis and regulate stool consistency.
Hope it was helpful to you.
