   Food going right through me! (Bowel Disorders board)

9th November 2005
For the past several weeks I have had diarrhea or loose stools shortly after I eat something. Now, in the past week, and even just today, I can't keep anything in me. Since yesterday, everytime I eat something, I have diarrhea within minutes. I am on some meds, but I have been taking them for two months now, and I also just started taking Arthrotec for my recently diagnosed osteoarthritis. I started taking that at the beginning of this month. I called my doc last week and they had me do a stool sample to check for parasites (I guess to check for bacteria?? I don't know why they did that??) and that came back normal. Since last week, it has gotten worse, I called the doc today and he is sending me to a gastroenterologist (sp?). He also had me stop taking my Arthrotec for now too. I am only 33 and this is so embarrassing and a nuisance! What will the GI doctor do at this appt. I can only imagine :eek:

Thanks for your help :wave:
