A member asked:
I've been having 4-6 stools a day, i'm 18 male 170 pounds gaining due to binging. normal? or a worm?

Anxiety: I understand your concern. Your weight of 170 pounds and binge eating indicate not coping with stresses of relationships with unresolved feelings, school, work, and finances. Use of alcohol may also cause gain in weight and anxiety. Anxiety due to stresses may cause loose motions. It is unlikely that your loose motions are due to worms. Please see your physician for diagnosis and treatment.
