What Causes Flatulence And Diarrhea?

I am experiencing frequent gas and also leakage of stool and I m unaware that it s happening. I do have MS and am on rebif medication and lyrica for headaches. I was wondering if this could be related to dairy and could you suddenly develop this type of reaction to dairy. I never had this before, but this has been happening for over 6 months now. Thanks Debbie

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello,

Your symptoms seem to be related to irritable bowel syndrome. I suggest using an over the counter option such as Imodium to treat diarrhea.

I also suggest using daily probiotics and eat a fiber-rich diet. If the symptoms continue, I suggest to consult a gastroenterologist for further evaluation.

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

Take care

Regards,
Dr Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
