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.

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