What Causes Chronic Diarrhea And Constipation?

19 year old male with chronic diarrhea that sometimes alternates to a harder stool but not really constipation. I have diarrhea at least 3 times a day and a bowel movement 3-5 times a day. I ve had this issue for about 3 years now sometimes it gets worse this is just an average for me. I recently went to the Dr. explained my symptoms but I didnt get any answer, I had to ask them to draw my blood and run test but never heard anything back. I was wondering if there was any serious risk to my health or anything I could do to treat this issue? Im currently unemployed and would like to work but feel this would prevent me from keeping employment because its worse if I go out. Most times if I leave the house I have to go to the restroom at least 5 times in an hour. I need help with controlling this issue or finding a treatment.

Hello,

Your signs and symptoms suggest you are suffering from a condition called:

irritable bowel syndrome,(IBS). This condition effects large population and patients feel:

Nervousness, diarrhoeas, constipation, frequent bowel movements particularly after taking meals. This condition has a genetic predisposition and has a strong linkage with the foods you take.

There are a lot of foods which you would be taking and causing bowel movements. Don't worry I suggest you adhere to the following protocol :

1) Identify foods that cause it and try to avoid them and try alternate ones.

2) Take curd mixed with milk and drink it once or twice daily. It will keep the gut healthy.

3) Avoid sugar-rich drinks or try low sugar in tea, coffee or drinks.
4) Take tab Librax once daily for 15 days in evenings.

Prevention is better than cure is only best strategy to keep yourself healthy.so adhere to protocol.

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

Take care

Regards,
Dr SOHEEL HUSSAIN ZARGAR, Dentist
