how to control loose motion - #17777

Priya

I am dealing with some really frustrating issues lately. Just last week, I started experiencing loose motions out of nowhere! It felt like I was constantly running to the bathroom, and it just wouldn't stop. On Monday, I was fine, but by Tuesday, it was like my stomach had a mind of its own. I thought maybe it was something I ate, but then my friend said it could just be stress from work, which is totally a thing. I tried drinking more water and eating some bland food, thinking maybe that would help with how to control loose motion, but nothing really changed. My doctor suggested some over-the-counter medication, but I don’t want to just mask the symptoms. I need to know how to control loose motion in a healthier way, especially since this has been happening on and off for a few weeks now! At this point, I’m avoiding going out because I really don’t want to be stuck in a public restroom! Do probiotics help? Or is there something else I should be doing to figure out how to control loose motion effectively? Any tips would be appreciated! I just want my normal routine back!
