I will start my story, Im male 24y/o. Recently I have a problems on my stomach and I searched a lot in google and yea it cant tell you what are you on but I think of GERD, Gastroentiritis and IBS or there something more because recently had gone so bad I think for almost everyday I poop for 2-3 a day. When I poop in the first day of the day the stool is in good shape but in the 2nd and 3rd is quite bad but its not wattery at all its not a diarrhea. I felt too also my stomach is always cramping I feel a heartbeat on it. And btw, I also have a high blood pressure 160/113 last month February and my doc gave me TOZAM meds and yea I take it everyday but recently few days ago I didnt take it anymore because I think the medicine is the cause of my IBS or what and yea it really is. As now I didnt take it anymore and I feel fine now.

    Your medecine can cause stomach pain and diarrhoea.  However, going to the loo three times a day doesn’t sound excessive.  See your doctor again.

      That’s great if your symptoms have gone, but if they come back, see your doctor for advice.

      Yeah, hoping it will not come back again because as I had it, it comes and goes.

      If it comes and goes, see your doctor to find out what is causing it.

      Recently when I poop first on a day I feel good but then again later on like its about 30 mins more I feel like wanted to go to the bathroom again and eager to poop. Was it really IBS? But now I feel fine yesterday and today I only went once but I dont think its gone because sometimes it comes and goes on its own. Its like when I eat a lot my stomach feels bad. Is there something wrong there? Does it connect with the kidney because I have a high blood pressure or something more. I just need some opinion, I know that the best thing to do is really going to a doctor but I still can handle it its not that it suffers me but its just irritable.
