Hi i have had loose bowels for months now never a solid one. Not quite diarrhoea although sometimes it is but thick gloop and exteremly smelly. Most of the time it's an explosion that's the only way I can put it and the urge to go is so bad I get a pain in my tummy and I have to run to the toilet it doesn't seem to matter what I eat nothing changes my stools any ideas guys as this is extremely frustrating

I have had the same problem for over a year now its so bad at times that i think im passing wind but have an accident. The only solution the doctors give is to take anti diarrhoea tablets but I would have to take them every day.

Try taking a probiotic that is for diarrohea - some strains help more with this and will firm up the bowel - I found Bioglan (saccromyces boulardi strain) seemed to firm up my bowel movements - or check Optibac they do one that is for fibre which I would presume also firm up the bowel movements
