What Causes Indigestion And Frequent Bowel Movements?

I am unable to digest food properly and need to pass motion multiple times, or after about an hour from whenever I eat. I consulted an Ayurvedic doc and he says my intestines are swollen and it is colitis. Tough I have never passed blood in my motion and do not have any swelling or infection around the rectum. I have been suffering from this problem for quite a long time now 7-8 years. As observed I think I also suffer from major anxiety and often puke out when I get anxious...can u please help me guide if this could be due to anxiety or is it colitis.

Hi welcome to the health care magic

You are having problem since seven year and anxiety history present

So here mostly it seems to be functional bowel problem

But before that any organic or specific infective cause has to be ruled out by colonoscopy or USG like investigation...

According to cause further specific treatment given

Try to avoid stress....

If specific infective cause present treated accordingly with antibiotic

If alternate diarrhea and constipation present than irritable bowel syndrome might be under suspicion and for that lubiprostone like specific medication prescribed

Take fiber diet more and psyllium with milk can be prescribed here

Take care

Consult physician for examination
