Hi,
My girlfriend is 25 years old, relatively healthy and has had no major illnesses. Her diet is relativley good and doesnt eat a lot of junk food. For as long as I have known her, and as she has recently told her doctor (last 8ish years), she has had watery diarrhea bowel movements, and sometimes has to have a bowel movement after she eats. She never complains of any stomach pain but says the only feeling she gets is an uncomfortable "got to go" feeling when she has a bowel movement. She went to a specialzed doctor who drew blood and says she has a bacteria in her stomach that is the cause for some of the nausea she gets some times. This nausea usually goes away once she eats. Her bowel movements are in her words, 2 out of 3 times water, the rest of the time normal. She doesnt have any bloody stools, just a few times in her life when she has wiped after a harder bowel movement. She had an appointment for a colonoscipie in 3 weeks but pushed it to 5 weeks until I get home that the doctor didnt seem to concerned about. The doctor said she might have IBS or Crohns Disease, but hasnt had any of the two in her family. I just wanted some one to maybe rest my fears that this isnt most likely the C word.
Thank you,
Concerned boyfriend.
