why does loose motions happen - #15450

Vedant

I am super worried about my health lately and I just can’t figure out why does loose motions happen to me so often. Like, just last week, I was at a family gathering, and after having some seemingly normal food, I started experiencing some awful cramps, and then boom, the loose motions hit me like a truck. It was really embarrassing, because I had to keep running to the bathroom. I initially thought maybe it was food poisoning or something I ate that didn’t agree with me. But then, a few days later, it happened again after just a simple breakfast at home! My diet isn’t anything crazy, I try to stick to fruits, veggies, and whole grains, but this keeps happening! I’ve been drinking plenty of water too, because I read that dehydration is a risk, but why does loose motions happen even when I feel like I’m eating healthy? I’m a bit anxious about my gut health - should I be looking into antibiotics or probiotics or something? Or maybe it's just stress from work? Why does loose motions happen so unpredictably? Anyone had similar experiences or know what could be going on? I could really use some help here.
