I'm having black stools and I'm worried it might be because of some damage to my rectum from anal sex. Should I be concerned enough to see a doctor about this? It's a little embarrassing to talk about.

View allI'm really puzzled right now. I recently finished a course of Flagyl for what my gi doctor suspected was giardia since I was having diarrhea, stomach pains, and nausea. So today, I had a plain hamburger with some ketchup and cheetos, and my diarrhea came back for about 2 hours. I'm trying to figure out why this happened. Could it be something about the food I ate, or is there another issue I might be dealing with?
The return of diarrhea after eating could be related to the foods you ate or your bodys ongoing recovery from the giardiasis infection. Monitor your symptoms and adjust your diet accordingly. If symptoms dont improve or if they worsen, consider following up with your doctor to rule out any underlying issues or complications.

For a couple of years now, I've been dealing with having to go to the toilet about 5 or 6 times a day. There's no stomach pain, but there's this discomfort that makes me feel better temporarily after going. There's no pain or burning when using the toilet. What might this be about, and could you suggest some solutions?
Sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). I recommend trying a combination of dietary and lifestyle changes to help manage your symptoms. Increase your fiber intake through fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. Drink plenty of water and avoid trigger foods such as caffeine, alcohol, and spicy foods. Regular exercise and stress management techniques can also be helpful. Additionally, you can try over-the-counter antidiarrheal medications to help control your bowel movements. If your symptoms persist, please follow up with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
