What Causes Abdominal Bloating Along With Dry Mouth And Joint Pain?
I have diarrhea 20 minutes after eating and it continues all day. I take Imodium A.D. all day and that does not help. I have extreme gas, dry mouth, lips, brittle nails, my hair is getting frizzy, joint pain among other issues. My gallbladder was removed and I ve had a foot of small intestines removed also I only have 25% usage of one kidney.

Hi,
Based on the history you have shared, you need to have a gastroenterologist review and may need treatment for bacterial overgrowth or inflammatory bowel syndrome after having stools analysis and colonoscopy if needed. Using Itopride can help with flatulence.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
