7 Days In Mexico, Now I Go to the Bathroom 5 Times a Day!
Posted: 06-03-05 09:57am

Came back from mexico last sunday. While I was their, I never got sick. Only drank bottled water and I ate 3 times a day.

I'll bet the entire time I was down there I went to the bathroom maybe 5 times(#2).

Now that i'm back, I can't stop going. I don't have diahrea, but anytime I eat, I have to go within the hour. Should I be concerned about this, or assume its my body getting rid of everything I ate in mexico. I only ate at my all inclusive hotel, so it wasn't any food I wasn't use to. But I figure their food had no preserves in it, if that had anything to do with it.

Your opinions are appreciated!

Superman, I have the same exact problem that you have. Only ive had it for over 3 years now. It started when I was 14 (im now 17), and I go to the bathroom after every meal, anywhere from 1/2 hr to 1 hr after I eat. I am underweight, and have been to over 6 gastrointerologists, just to have it labled as "ibs". They did find 1 thing, I am intolerant to the sugar "fructose", which is in all kinds of stuff. Ive tried elimanating that, and it helped to some extent, but didnt solve the problem. I eat alot throughout the day, but im always hungry about an hr after meals. The only advice I can give you is to start using probiotic suplements, and enzymes, and try avoiding foods that say "high fructose corn syrup" in the ingredient list.

-oh, and I also saw your other post about "primial defense". Very interesting stuff there, I might just try that... Im at the end of my rope on what to do about this, and ill try just about anything now that might have a chance of fixing the problem we have. Anything that says "promotes digestive health", I might just try, lol. Good luck to ya.
