Can anyone tell me about a change in bowel habits?
My entire life ( almost 56 years now ), I have suffered with a dry, large, clay - like stool. But over the last few months or so, all that has changed. My bowel movements are now much more frequent and are almost always soupy or mushy, sometimes even to the point of mild diarrhea. There is no blood, no abdominal pain, no loss of appetite, or loss of weight. As a matter of fact, I’ve even gained about 5 pounds over the last 4 months and feel otherwise healthy. In actuality, it’s been quite a relief not to have to strain like crazy when I sit down on the pot. But at the same time, it concerns me somewhat. Any explanations? Qualfied medical folks only, please.
This has been going for months now without any other signs or symtoms.
Sometimes I get an upset stomach before I have a bowel movement?
Sometimes I get an upset stomach with an extreme urgency to have a bowel movement. This comes and goes. What I am wondering about is when I have the bowel movements that are accpomainied with abdominal pain and urganecy the bowel movement is loose and contains what looks like corn. What's weird is I have not eaten corn. Does anyone know what this could be?
