Asked by Male, 37 · 2 months ago

Frequent post-meal bowel movements for 40 days may be due to irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), infection, malabsorption, or food intolerance. A stool test, thyroid test, and review of your diet/medications are important. Consult a doctor if symptoms persist, worsen, or cause weight loss or dehydration.

I'm sorry to hear that you've been experiencing frequent bowel movements after every meal for over a month. This could be caused by several factors, including infections, food intolerances, digestive disorders, or side effects of medications.

Since you mentioned Zenflox-OZ, which contains antibiotics (Ofloxacin and Ornidazole) used to treat infections including diarrhea, it's possible that your symptoms might be related to an infection or a reaction to medication. Antibiotics can sometimes disrupt the normal gut flora, leading to increased bowel movements or diarrhea.

Possible causes include:

  • Gastrointestinal infections (bacterial, viral, or parasitic)
  • Antibiotic-associated diarrhea
  • Food intolerances or malabsorption
  • Inflammatory bowel conditions

Given the duration and frequency of your symptoms, it is important to consult a gastroenterologist (a specialist in digestive system disorders). They can perform appropriate evaluations, including stool tests or other investigations, to determine the exact cause and recommend suitable treatment.

If you experience additional symptoms such as severe abdominal pain, blood in stools, dehydration, or weight loss, seek medical attention promptly.

Please make an appointment with a gastroenterologist to get a thorough assessment and personalized care.To narrow down potential causes, we will need some more information.Please tell me your age and gender.
