Diarrhea after eating

With in the last few months I have noticed that I tend to have diarrhea after eating. THe onset is rather swift and I do not have any other symptoms and feel generaly in good health. This condition is also in varying degrees. sometimes my stool is just loose and sometimes it is just water. Help

Your body doesn't like something you're eating most likely, and its probably something common

Talk to an allergenist and order an allergy serum blood panel. If that is the problem causing your symptoms, your symptoms will get worse as time goes on. Any period of extreme stress can cause this existing condition to manifest in new ways.

Are your pants too tight? I will get diarrhea after eating, esp. if I overeat, almost every time I eat if my pants are too tight. (My father had the same problem.)

Be sure your clothes are not too tight. And, don't overeat.

I have diarrhea after eating too, since I had my gall bladder removed. If you haven't had yours removed, you might want to get it checked to see if it is functioning properly. The gallbladder controls the amount of bile excreted into your intestine after you eat. If you have a high fat diet, you will need the bile to digest it. Fat requires a lot of bile to break it up. If you do not get the correct amount, you will get diarrhea. Since I have no gall bladder, I have to be sure I have access to a restroom whenever I eat.

get tested for celiac sprue

I just has my gall bladder removed last Sept. And was still having the diarrhea after eatting. So they put me on a powder to drink to help do what the gall bladder did, breaking down the bile. I have just started it and have to do it for 4 weeks. I am not sure it will work...worth a try. It is so awful to get stuck someplace and HAVE TO GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi, what is the name of the powder you are trying?

I was getting diarrea after eating and would go frequently. I would have loose stools and a whole lot of gas. I would constantly be running to the bathroom and was quite embarrassed. It was extremely aggrevating and everytime I went to the bathroom, it was as if it were always an emergency and I could not get there quick enough. I knew this was not normal. I also became extremely anemic and my iron count and magnesium count was very low. I actually passed out in a store at one point because I was so weak after running into the store to use their bathroom.

Needless to say, I finally ended up at the hospital and eventually had to have an edoscopy and colonoscopy. The only thing is that I was warned about Celiac's disease long before my appointment for these tests. I ended up completing the tests 4 months after I was having such severe issues due to my personal schedule and the schedule of the GI Department. In the meantime, I had been dieting for approximately 3 months prior to the tests. I removed any gluten from my diet. (Which is what must be removed from your diet if you are suffering from Celiac's disease.) At any rate, because I had removed gluten from my diet for 3 months prior to the tests for Celiac's disease, I was in the borderline range for Celiac's disease. My result was too high for Celiac's disease to be negative and not high enough to be a confirmed positive. However, as long as I stay clear of gluten I feel perfectly fine and do not experienc anemia or any adverse symptoms. When I have cheated and eat gluten, shortly thereafter, it all starts again.

So, while I am not a confirmed Celiac's disease person, the gluten-free diet totally works. It did not work overnight, though. It took about a full month to see the results.

Good Luck!

im having really watery diarrhoea and its only just came on my mothers says it gastroenteritis but im not sure what do you think?

This is an OLD post, but I have the same problems at times. It usually occurs after eating a very heavy greasy meal and drinking to much liquid and my pants being to tight. Within 30 minutes after eating, I start having waves of cramps and needing to use the toilet because of diarrhea.

I usually have to go at least 4 times until everything is released, then I feel great. I do not eat or drink anything for at least 4-6 hrs, then I eat normal.

I am very curious to what the problem might be also. My normal diet does not consist of greasy foods. I can drink plenty of fluids when I want to and my diet intake has decreased (my option) in that I do not eat until stuffed and keep my meals small.

I haven't tried eating a very small greasy meal to see what would happen.
