I am an other wise healthy 30 year old male, who for the past 8 years, has had frequent bowel movements, six or seven a day at its worst.
I think it all started back in the fall of 1996, when I thought I just had a cold, but it turned out to be an upper respiratory infection. The doctor prescribed some anti-biotics, which I took, and it went away for a short while, then started back up again. I went back to the doctor and got more anti-biotics, the upper respiratory infection cleared up again, but started to come back, but I somehow fought it off by taking store bought asprin, because I didn't feel like going back to the doctor a third time. (BIG MISTAKE!)
Every time I begin to eat, I have a sudden urge to go. Immediately after eating, I have a bowel movement, each and every time after I eat. Its not diarrhea, although it doesn't come out solid, but there is quite a lot that comes out. I don't know where it's coming from. I'm wondering if I have some kind of fat storage problem. Even after I go to the bathroom, I still have constant gas. The only relief seems to be to sip about 4 glasses of water through a straw, that seems to purge it all out of my system and releave the gas.
What is really important to note is, whenever I drink any kind of juice, such as grape juice, or any other kind of juice, that's when I get diarrhea. For some reason I can't digest juice, without getting a really bad case of diarrhea.
I wonder if I have an early form of kidney failure?
Thank You.
