What Causes Soft Stool With Gastric Problem?

Hi, I've been having soft stool for over a month now. It's fibrous and frequent; about 4-5 times a day. I eat a lot and I feel fine other than having lots of gas, especially before I need to defecate and needeing to do so quite quickly...
What do you think is wrong with me?

Hello,

Some advices that I can give to you are:
-Avoid spicy foods, fruits, alcohol, and caffeine until 48 hours after all symptoms have disappeared.
-Avoid chewing gum that contains sorbitol.
-Avoid milk for three days after symptoms disappear.
-You can eat cheese or yogurt with probiotics.
-Take probiotic supplements
-Do a stool test to rule out the cause of the symptoms.
