why do i have loose motion - #19336

Karthik

I am really worried about this loose motion thing that's been going on with me. Like, I had this big family lunch last Sunday, and everything was fine at first. But then, on Monday, I started feeling kinda queasy, and the next thing I know I'm running to the bathroom every half hour! It was terrible! I thought maybe it was something I ate, but the rest of the family seems fine, so now I'm just lost…why do I have loose motion? I mean, I haven’t changed my diet or anything, and I drink water from home, but it just wouldn’t stop. Yesterday, I tried having some toast and that didn’t help either. It’s just weird, right? I also googled it (probably shouldn’t have!) and read about how it could be anything from a stomach virus to anxiety. Like, who knew stress could cause loose motion? I’m not super stressed, but I do have a lot going on with work. Is it possible that could actually be a reason? I did take some over-the-counter stuff for it, but that didn’t seem to work much. Can this last for a long time? Why do I have loose motion if everything else seems normal? Just looking for some thoughts or advice from anyone who’s been through this sort of thing.
