Sometimes I suffer from morning diarrhea, which makes me want to use the toilet 3 to 4 times. This is eventually followed by weakness and tiredness. What is the cause of this and how can I fix it? I do not have anemia or thyroid problems.

Sudden urge to pass stools in the morning is common in Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS). If it is daily with weakness, do a Stool Calprotectin to rule out gut inflammation. Eat light, avoid fried foods, and manage stress.

Dr. Hema Suggests...

Take a Fecal Calprotectin Test Test or Take a TSH Test (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone) Test

I have some bowel problems. My stool test report shows fecal calprotectin greater than 800. Is this serious, and what does it indicate?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

My mother needs to use the toilet 2 to 3 times a day, and her stools are watery. She was previously taking Vibact and Rifagut 400 under a doctor prescription, which helped, but the problem has recurred. Should she continue the same medication, or are there other medicines she can take? She also had a stool test, which was normal.

I am experiencing frequent bowel movements, sometimes 8 to 9 times a day during diarrhea, and even when not having diarrhea, 3 to 4 times a day with a little mucus in my stool. I have attached my LFT and blood reports for reference.
