My partner has been going to the toilet to pass poop quite frequently one morning he went 4 times in 5 hours he is always complaining about stomach ache and has diareah he keeps saying hes fine but im worried hes lost weight aswell because hes been pooping everytime he eats. We recently found out i am pregnant and hes been working a lot recently so i think it may be down to stress but im really worried just incase its more serious help please?x

    Hi Dee987065

    Congrats on your Baby news!!. Your poor partner may seem to have caught a bug of some sort that could be making him poo so much especially after he has eaten. You also say he has lost a lot of weight. We know that men do not like to go too the doctors, but us women have to take our partners there sometimes as if we are their mothers, when they were little boys. When he comes home from work tonight say to him that you have booked an appointment for him at your doctors, as he needs him there to talk about your up coming baby, and whilst your there, in the surgery, with the doctor, you say "Darling What about that situation you have with going to the toilet, so often?" Then you leave the room and let him talk to the Doctor by himself  as he might be to embrassed to say anything with you in the room. I hope its nothing serious, and all goes well for you and your partner, and your baby when you have him/her. :-)

      Thank you for the congrats amd sorry havent been on here these past few days he picked up some diareah tablets and it went a way but tonight he is saying his stomach hurts and he feels like he needs to go but when he tries he doesnt. He really doesnt want to go doctors i mean i would have dragged him by the ears if it didnt get better. Hes awkward. So im really thinking about forcing him now seen as its a reaccurong problem.

      Try keeping a food diary as there may be  a food intolerance problem here, asu ing the problem has not sorted itself by now.  Wheat intolerance for example is very common and often results in weightloss. Going several times a day s not n itself necessarily a problem. Obviously go back to the doctor if symptoms persist and you are not happy
