[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So I was a poster (not OP) on a thread a while back where some of us realized that no, it is not normal to have explosive BMs multiple times per week. I have had a recent, clear colonoscopy so the issues aren't there. I'm assuming it is something I am eating, but it is not obvious. Is the first thing the doctor will ask me to do keep a food journal (along w/ BM details) to start determining what causes this? For me, at least, it doesn't seem like stress or something is the deciding factor. (I can get upset stomach when I am stressed, like for a big presentation, but that is not in my current situation. Just the low-mid level stress of all of us at home, working, and homeschooling....). And who do I want to see - a gastroenterologist? Thanks!!!!!!![/quote] Cara Care is a good app for tracking food and symptoms. You may want to look into low fodmap diets. One thing to remember with GI symptoms is that it isn't always what, but how much. If you have dairy sensitivity or are lactose intolerant, a cheese burger or 1 mozzarella cheese stick might not bother you, but eating it with a milkshake or a whole mozzarella cheese stick appetizer may cause problems. Your call if you want to see a GI. A lot of the care management around IBS is identifying and avoiding triggers.[/quote]
