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

Book Fecal Calprotectin Test Test Book TSH Test (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone) Test

Respected Doctors, I have been diagnosed with proctosigmoiditis. Can it lead to cancer in the future without treatment? I do not have any symptoms. Should I worry about this? Some doctors say it is only piles, while others say it is proctosigmoiditis. Please provide a correct and genuine answer. I am attaching my colonoscopy report.

A doctor has reviewed my full body diagnostic report and told me that I am suffering from Inflammatory Bowel Disease. I have also experienced weight loss, and I am unable to digest milk. Could you please advise me on what foods and drinks I should consume that are easier to digest and suitable for my condition?

I have never had normal stools, they are always loose. Currently, I am experiencing mild abdominal pain and slight bloating. My stool test came back normal, but the local doctor could not help. What could be the cause, and what should I do?
