Diarrhoea after a meal, What could be the problem?
Posted , 3 users are following.
For the last 3 days, after any meal or simple snack, i suddenly get painful sudden movements in my abdomen which is accompanied by loud grumbles and a watery stool with traces of mucus when I visit the toilet. I feel relieved for 15 to 20 minutes before getting the urge to visit the toilet again. This can go on for over 4 hours.
I have a history of;
- Peptic Ulcer disease but it been well managed and I haven't had any problems related to it in a very long time.
- Lactose intolerance (but in this case neither of the foods I consumed was a dairy product)
What could the problem be and how can I manage it?
It seems acute but very worrying.
Thanks for your time.

Try a food diary to see what foods may be causing diarrhoea.

It may be a sign of oncoming irritable bowel syndrome. Discuss it with your doctor.
