Hi,I am Dr. Andrew Rynne (Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes Frequent Bowel Movement With Excessive Abdominal Gas?
My husband is 69 years old was a marathon runner until 6 years ago. He has bowel movements over 4 times a day and a tremendous amount of gas. There are times he can not control his bowels and let's it go before he can get to the bathroom. What is wrong ?
Detailed Answer: Welcome to healthcaremagic.com and myself Dr. Oscar Alberto Martinez would be answering your questions..
I think your husband has IBS (Irritable bowel syndrome) is a common disorder that affects the large intestine (colon). Irritable bowel syndrome commonly causes abdominal pain, bloating, gas, diarrhea and constipation.
The best and high impact solution for this is to change lifestyle, drink a lot of water and walk every day(at least 20 min, if you husband doesnt have heart problem or heart diagnosis by a medic)
This is something that will have to manage long term with a medic.
Kind Regards.
