It seems that whatever I eat , minutes
later I have to rush off to the bathroom .
I do drink alcohol several times a week
within moderation, however, I have'nt
touched any for a week but I still use the
bathroom almost instantly after food.
I had an endoscopy(camera in the stomach)
in july last year which proved positive
for a small parasite in my stomach but
clearly no signs of ulcers etc , a
powerful course of antibiotics was
prescribed which I assume has done the
deed.
I'm also a preperation h suppository user
, not sure if this is relevant but helpful
for the big picture.
Grateful for any idea's / guidance .

Maybe you should do a follow up with your
doctor to make sure the parasite is gone.
If it is, they might be able to do
further tests. The preparation h
shouldn't do anything because it wouldn't
increase your digestion time. It would
more likely effect what comes out and not
when. I don't see that the alcohol would
be cause for anything either (although a
glass of wine makes me run to the
bathroom, but only right after I drink it)

Food Intolerance Posted: 08-18-04 15:31pm
Perhaps it's something you are eating. It
is possible to become intolerant to a food
that never caused you trouble in the past,
I recently discovered that i'm lactose
intolerant and I used to stomach dairy
products normally until recently.

Bowel Movements... Posted: 08-24-04 04:43am
You could be suffering from irritable
bowel syndrome or simply amoebiasis. The
characteristic few symptoms are urge for
stool after eating, urge for stool with
urgency, infeffectual urge for stool,
loose stool, mucus filled in stool
sometimes etc.
Homeopathic medicine has good remedies
like nux vom, sulph, merc, lycopodium,
kurchi etc. Which help in getting rid of
the problem.

Just a Guess Posted: 09-17-04 16:30pm
If it happens after sweets or sugary
foods--it could be "dumping syndrome"
when your intestine gets a big load of
sugar, it can cause you to have to poop
right away--you can help it by having some
fiber or fat with your meal to slow things
down a bit or just avoid processed carbs
like white flour and sugar
also the fake sugars like maltitol and
stuff are major diarrhea producers
it is probably dietary, sometimes you can
elimiate certain food groups--like dairy
or nuts, etc for a few days and see if
that clears it up
i get the runs anytime I have a lot of
fiber, if it has been a long time since I
had any, I have to build up my tolerance
for it...
Some peoples' tummies are more sensitive
thanothers...
Also, I used to be able to eat whatever, I
never got sick, but now in my old age I
have to take it easier
also, if you are on a new medication like
effexor or zoloft--it can speed up your
intestine motility...
