I am going to the bathroom at least 5 times a day for about a week, and then I am ok for another week or so and then it starts all over again. The doctor I saw, ran blood work and took a stool sample, which turned out to be normal, and he told me I had IBS, and changed he my diet. Well that is not working for me. It is still happneing and I have lost about 15 pounds now from going to the bathroom all the time. What else could this be? I dont know what else to try.
hi i have exactly the same symptoms as u describe on and off for abt 2 mts i have not yet been to my gp have u yet found out the cause of these
no i have not yet discovered what has been causing those symptoms. i atcually hadn't had them for about a month now and i was kind of thinking maybe it was some kind of flu bug. but i just hope that i dont get those symtomns back.
I am currently having the same problem and have been doing some research on it. The closest I have found to these symptoms is Crohn's Disease they say there is no cure but treatments to help. Check these links

make sure you rule out Addison's Disease - my husband has this, and it was hard to diagnosis and deadly if left untreated for very long
My friend had similar symptoms for a long time and was relieved (after a year) when a doc finally thought of testing her for parasites. She had giardia...which cleared up quickly after treatment.
Have the same symptoms for a very long time. Have been to a gastro. always tell me it is IBS. Have had many test - still the pain persists. Take medication daily for IBS, and have lost 11 lbs because I am always in the bathroom. 5 or more bowl movements a day. Does not matter what I eat. Have tried to stick to different foods to see if it is a reaction, but can not find any. If anyone has any other suggestions please post - I would love to find a cure. Get so tired when I am always in the bathroom - feel like I have no energy after awhile as I think I loose all nutrition. I eat then 1/2 to hour later end up in the bathroom. Just not a normal way to live. :-( :-( :-(
I have the same problem. I go to the bathroom at least (3) times a day. My doctor has taken blood work and I have had CT scans and they are not showing anything. I went to the hospital before the CT scans were taken, due to pain under my breast. The doctor asked me if I needed to go to the bathroom. I looked at him liked he was crazy. He said I had gas and that the CT scan he had taken showed that my bowels was very full after having been to the bathroom with bowel movements (3) times that day.
I understand what you all are going through. Sadly at 23 years of age I've had this problem for some time. Constant stomach pains and poop 5 times a day. At my young age I had a colonoscopy. Gone through many perscriptions and nothing has helped. Has anyone found anything that helps?
