Diahrreah after dinner..always

[Momtocourt]

My husband has problems with diahrreah 90% of the time after he eats, especially dinner.  He usually uses the bathroom within 10-15 minutes after eating.  I rarely matters what he eats.  Any suggestions??

My husband has been like that all his life as are his 5 brothers and sisters. When we get together at holidays they laugh about it after dinner as they all bolt for the bathroom. My husband has BM at least 5 times a day and I've always been amazed as I'm lucky to go once a day. So for him it's normal. But if it's new for your husband then it should be checked out. One other thing. My husband and his family are all overeaters/overweight. Recently he went on a food plan and guess what? He doesn't go nearly as often. I think he has "dumping syndrome" where he just eats more food than his body can process. He recently had his colesterol checked and his tryglicerides are sky high, a sure sign of overeating. That's why our doctor put him on a diet.

How long has this been going on with your husband? That answer can make a big difference in what could be wrong with him.  He could have anything from a virus to Inflamatory Bowel System or Crohn's. or Diverticulotis.  I have a weird condition that does the same thing.  I eat and within a few minutes i am in the restroom i have severe cramping and Diahrreah for many hours afterwards. I had at one time got so sick i was down to 85lbs.  Yeah pretty scarey.  The condition is called Chronic Intestinal Pseudo Obstruction.  I have to stay away from uncooked meat and I eat mostly white meat.  Hardley any starches... and NO COFFEE.. I would die for a cup of coffee but then a cup of coffee would make me wished i had died.  But if this has been going on for some time with him he really needs to go to the dr. This is not something to mess around with, he can get severely dehydration from this and not to mention malnutrition. And if he dont want to go to the dr like most men, then tell him his choice is to suffer and I can verify that chronic diaherrea is very painful and dangerous.  I am lucky to maintain a wieght of 115lbs and i am 5'5 and 37 years old.  And start using Olive oil in place of vegatable or corn oil. Oh yeah, Corn is his 2nd worst enemy after caffine.  The body does not digest corn very well so all corn products need to be cut out of his diet completly.  Good luck and I just hope for his sake it may just be a virus maybe even just his diet.  If you would like more suggestions on what foods to and not to eat just post a comment to Northernlightldy and i will be glad to help him.  or i am also on yahoo as northernlightldy so you can email me too.  Good luck.

hi I am Stefi2, I also have diarrehea after eating, but mine is all the time. I have been havig this for 10 days now. I went to a dr and he said a virus but I really don't think so. He gave me some med to take to stop this but no help. I was told by someone that this could be caused by the liver, any thoughts on this? If you find out anything let me know and I will you.   Good luck to your husband.

Is your husband eating a lot of food at dinner?  I have found eating more frequently and less has helped me immensely.  I also have cut MSG completely out of my diet, and that also has helped me.  I still have problems but not quite as bad.  If this continues he could  get dehydrated.  He should drink a lot of water and probably should see a GI doctor if it persists.
