Anyone else go the toilet 4 or 5 times a day and have cramp every few days? I hate that you can be okay one day and in so much pain and discomfort the next. Hope everyoneso okay today.

Hi yes I used to go to toilet every ,15-20 minutes. That's better now due to low fodmap diet and colestyramine.

[cassie17]

yes up to 10times some days,

Do you know what your trigger foods are? I find it frustrating you can eat something one day, but not a different day.

yeah ..when this happens ..it usually means that this day and tomorrow are cancelled ..from severe exhaustion after each toilet trip 😢😓 ..starvation is my new path now ..not to cure ..just to lessen the number of toilet trips ..otherwise I will just be a prisoner inside the bathroom..Unfortunately 😳

Frequent bowel evacuation is not a serious problem in short run but can be the cause for too many upcoming disorders to ourselves like CFS (Chronic fatigue syndrome), depression, weight loss, deficiency disorders, body pain, weak senses, inactive lethargy, mental retardation, loss of concentration, etc. in the long run. Causes vary from faulty mode of living, unhealthy food habits, Crohn's disease, IBS (Inflammatory bowel syndrome), Duodenal ulcer, inflammation of intestines, colon cancer, lack of physical work, etc. Whatever may be the cause, I could help you overcome the problem.

I have colitis but I control mine by diet, found wheat to be one of the main things which upset me. Sends me to the loo and gives me stomach cramps. Have you kept a food diary to find which foods trigger your problems, hope this helps.

Hi elwins,

YES!!! It is SO true that WHEAT itself...not just the infamous 'gluten' that can be the real trouble maker!! It is so nice to see that someone understands this! Take care and good luck to you, elwins.

Totally understand what you are saying... it really gets discouraging. Take care, Michael.

Thanks everyone. I've wrote down what makes me worse and have changed from eating Brown bread to white as too much fibre makes me go and I can't have tea anymore. So annoying isn't it
