strange bowel habits for months

Posted , 2 users are following.

Back in August 2018, I had an ear infection, and one evening after dinner I had to urgently find a bathroom to allow my bowels to explode into the toilet.

Ever since that evening, my bowels haven’t been the same. Each morning I have a real urge to release my bowels. However, a few hours later, the same thing happens. I then feel like I have to keep squeezing out the last bits before I feel comfortable down there. I therefore am going to poop 3 or 4 times each morning. It sometimes get to a point where I am squeezing out liquidy poop.

The evening is slightly more settled, but usually at least 1 or 2 times I need to go, sometimes 3 times.

I haven’t got a pain, or blood in stools (other than when I wipe too hard/much), but I am concerned at the constant need to poop every day.

I am meant to be a healthy young man, but I don’t feel that way at the moment. I have a high metabolism, and exercise often, and eat a generally well balanced diet.

Any ideas? I may see a IBS specialist.
