So April last year I had chronic diarrhoea and was going 20 times a day. Now I'm not going as often, but when I do it's traumatic, it's very painful like as in muscle pain at my rectum, cramp and actually sore on its way out and it's huge amounts at a time and I not to mention if I wasn't near a toilet there would be a huge accident as too painful to even try hold it and unable to😭 sorry for the graphic detail but just worried! I have no food or drink triggers, except caffeine which I've now cut out, but constantly got abdominal pain and nothing relieves it, so I don't think it's ibs anymore my symptoms don't match anymore, no appetite and constantly feeling sick and having acid reflux too

Hi there

What tests have you had done? I've read quite a few people on here mentioning bile malabsortion as a reason for extreme diarrhea
