Question : Hello Dr, I have been facing frequent motions quite long time. On an average I am going 4 times in a day. I don't feel any pain or burning sensation while going motion and the motion is also proper. It's neither dry nor watery. I have not undergone any medication so far. My digestive system is working perfectly and I do workout regularly though I am facing this issue. Recent times I am noticing that I am getting farts during entire day, this is really disgusting. And one more thing I haven't lost my weight due to frequent motion. My age is 30, my height is 5.8 and my weight is approx 67. I am desperately trying to come out of this problem. Could you please show me some good solution?
Brief Answer:
Frequent motions are normal
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks for your query.
You are getting frequent motions for a long time and it has not affected your health. It may have developed due to some change like intake of antibiotics or change in type of food.
Since it is accompanied by farts now, it is suggestive of indigestion. It may be due to a particular food item, maybe milk or juice. It suggests that you are not digesting a particular nutrient like lactose or sucrose. The indigestion to lactose is more common. It usually develops during early adult years due to inadequate enzyme. You can try eliminating milk and milk products for 10-15 days to rule it out. Meanwhile also try drinking cleaner water, since there may be some infectious etiology.
