What Could Cause Stomach Pain After A Meal And Frequent Bowel Movements?

I have pains and cramps in my stomach after I eat the smallest meal or a cracker. Sometimes I get the urge that I have to have a BM after I experience these cramps. The last time that happened I had 12 BMs in a few hours. Had to go to hospital because I was dehydrated and received an IV. What do you think this is?

Hi,

This is irritable bowel syndrome and initially dietary modification like regular meal pattern; avoidance of large meals, diet low in food like wheat, barley, rye, onion, leek, white part of spring onion, garlic, shallots, beetroot, fennel, peas, chicory, pistachio, cashews, legumes, lentils, and chickpeas is important.

Also exclude foods that increase flatulence (eg, beans, onions, celery, carrots, raisins, bananas, apricots, prunes, Brussels sprouts, wheat germ, pretzels, and bagels), alcohol, and caffeine. Increase physical activity composed of 20 to 60 minutes of moderate to vigorous activity three to five days per week.

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

Regards,
Dr. Sagar Makode
