Am unsure of reason for digestive disorder

Posted By Jap (New Orleans, La) on 12/13/2012

For a few years now I have been having some terrible stomach issues. They are not constant nor have I been able to determine their causes. Sometimes after I eat I will have an attack with terrible stomach pains and uncontrollable diarrhea. It is not everytime I eat and I have not been able to link it to any particular food or food group. It sometimes happens with spicy food and then other times I can eat the spiciest food in my life and be fine. I am unsure how I should treat or diagnose. Part of me thinks it could be IBS or Crohns disease as I was on accutane for 3 years.

Even amoebic infection will result in similar sympton. EH and Giardia can produce the above symptom Like IBS, severe urge to go for bowel movement after eating spicy food.

You have to identify, what is the cause of above sympton. As you said eating spicy food causes the symptoms. Record your reaction whenever you eat spicy food. And analyze your food intake during an episode.

Also make sure your stomach acid is normal. Undigested food from stomach can cause a diarhhea, bloating. Drink Lemon Juice to rejuvenate and cleanse your intestine. To nullify the effect of accutane, Drink lots of Milk Kefir.
