Hi,

5 bowel movements per day and feeling of incomplete evacuation can be due to multiple problems that need the following:
Clinical evaluation by a Gastroenterologist.
Investigations of stool and blood.
CT scan of abdomen.
Colonoscopy and biopsy.
All these will lead to a probable diagnosis so that symptomatic as well as specific management can be done.
Acid reflux needs and upper GI Endoscopy and treatment with a PPI like Pantoprazole, Domperidone and antacid along with dietary adjustments to have soft and bland diet.
Identify the foods and beverages that increase your problems and stop these altogether.
If all the investigations are normal then you may be suffering from a condition called IBS that is irritable Bowel Syndrome. You then need the treatment accordingly with good control over anxiety and stress.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. T Chandrakant, General Surgeon
