the last few months after I eat I have to eat or it WILL come out right away and it's mostely dihrea.  Not all the time just some times.  But I can't hold it.

Tonight I was in the car, picked up 2 sandwiches at mc donalds and was driving.  Within 5 minutes it had to come out! it was very close when I pulled into a gas station and got to the bathroom VERY fast.

Any doctors or anyone know what could be wrong? I don't really like this but I don't want to go to the doctor to get a lot of tests done that I don't need?



Anyone else have this problem?

SO is it the same food comming right back out? Fascinating. Does it even get a little digested? or are the sesame seeds still on the pieces of bun.

I know several people you have to take a dump right after they eat, that is not uncommon.

The persistent diarrhea over a period of months is not normal and is a sign something is not right.

I have the same thing going on.

My guess was some kind of mild IBS, but my college student's income doesn't bring in enough for me to get insurance, which keeps me from going to the doctor.

I suppose we may also just have really quick metabolism, but the is a bit doubtful.  

ETA: after rereading your post, it sounds like yours is a bit worse than mine. I've never been in a situation with it here I thought I was going to shit myself.

It does seem that everything is more or less digested.

Take any medications?  I had the same problem when I was on a particular hypertension medication.  Thought it was IBS, even had a flex sphyg (trust me, not a fun procedure).  No troubles found.  Changed meds, all good again.

IBS or IBD.  [yeah it's not pleasant to think about or say] but if you see blood in the bowl or your stools, you should go see a doctor.

Either way, there are really good meds out there that can make your life much less urgent.

There is a problem, however, if the condition exists immediately after eating, especially something greasy like a McDonald's sandwich.  I'm telling you, the boy's gall bladder is defective.

Ripley's Believe It Or Not featured a guy who tried to commit suicide by ingesting drain cleaner. He survived but it literally ate his stomach away and the only option was to connect his intestine directly to his esophagus. The result was that any food he ate would almost immediately be passed out and in order for his body to absorb any nutrients, he would have to eat like twenty times a day. No lie.

In the oilfield, they refer to this as the "push". Whatever meal you eat will immediately dislodge your previous meal, in an abrupt fashion.

Could be irritable bowel syndrome, could be where you're dinning.

Avoid eating on the road for a while, and check back.

I had a similar problem about a year ago, went thru a ton of tests and it turned out to be a stomach parasite called Giardia.  More info here.

I had to take an antibiotic for three weeks, and could barely eat anything.  The worst part was that I couldnt drink ANY alcohol while on that particular antibiotic.  It was a LONG three weeks.  

Hopefully you dont have this, cause the tests for it are almost worse than the symptoms.

I have had same problems for a while now. I did have a problem with my GB, It quit working. Got it removed and Dr. says IBS. So u both are prob. right.
Anyway Dude go see your Dr. he will be able to help you more.
Prob. have some questions for you and maybe some test but above all, Start eating right and quit worring about shit!!!
The stress will kill you faster than IBS.

Good luck!!

I do not take any medications.  Today was the first day a little kindof ummmm it squished out a bit so I'm starting to get concerned because it could have been a lot worse.

Ok Luxan, I'll chime in with something besides irritable bowel syndrome.  You might see if you are lactose intolerant.  How often do you eat foods with dairy products in them?  I speak from PERSONAL experience that when I gotta go, I GOT TO GO!  One time in the middle of a search for a supposed dead body in the woods, I had to drive like a bat out of hell to a local grocery store where I literally "Exploded" into a toilet.

There are dairy supplements like Lactaid that can help quite a bit.  You take one when you eat food with dairy in it and the enzyme reproduces the enzyme that your body has stopped making and allows you to digest your food without the poops.

Let us know how it all comes out!

Don't let the above control your life!

I've had that happen before.

You're eating too much.

Go like a day or so without eating or eating very little so you get a day to get the crap out of your system before you put more in.

"Gastrocolic reflex" is what you're describing, and it's normal to need to go after eating. Pressure and peristaltic wave contractions caused by digestive mechanisms cranking back up are the cause for it.

What's not normal is the... shall we say... "tone" you've got going on. If it persists after eating a healthy diet for a few days and/or a short fast to try to give your system time to try to reset, I'd consider starting to look for problems with an actual MD, not just some redneck named Hobbit who posts on the net at odd times of the night.

FWIW- one of my grad school classmates got giardia from one of his cases (a dog), and to say that it was nasty is an understatement. His fiancee wasn't too happy about it either. I don't envy you guys who have had it.

Lay off the salads, diary, and greasy stuff for about 3 days and see what happens.  IBS just means that certain foods give you the shits.  It seems to be related to dairy products too.
