Losing weight and cant help it

For about a yr now I have been having major bowel issues, some days I go as many as 10-15 times, its always watery, looks like there is skin in it, and smells very foul. There are days I cant quite make it to the bathroom and have a mistake. It doesnt matter if I eat or dont eat its always the same result. I have lost more than 50 lbs in a short period of time, any idea what is causing this?  I am 45 yrs old some days its so bad I cant leave my house

I believe it could be  a neuropathy of the digestive system. Do you have any desire to eat? Do you also have abdominal pain with this? What is your nutritoinal status? What has your internist said about this?

You really need to see a Gastroenterologist to find out what is going on.  Losing weight without trying is not good.  Don't waste anymore time worrying about this, make an appt. with a GI doctor so you can get better.
