Suggest Cure For Abdominal Pain, Bloating And Diarrhea

Hello, I have been having diarrhea sometimes a pudding like consistency and lately pure watery. I feel it may be lactose intolerance and have been taking lactaide pills before eating . I m curious as to if the the degree of dairy calls for a larger dose of lactaide pills??? I m 33 years old and never had an issue with dairy. I m nervous bc often time I m still immediately running for the bathroom soon after eating. And recently I have no texture in my bowls looks like muddy frothy water. Suggestions.....?..? Also bloating and pain in high abdomen b4 and after bowls also my with more than one trip to bathroom within 40 min time

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

The kind of diarrhea you have mentioned may not be purely due to lactose intolerance. You should get your stools to send off to the laboratory for tests.

You may be having symptoms of IBS or Inflammatory bowel disease for which you may need to have other invasive tests too.

I would suggest seeing your doctor at a priority and not delay this by self-treatment.

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

Regards,
Dr. Shilpi Kulshreshtha
