Hard to say: But its good that your upper GI and colonoscopy were normal. Does it do this with all foods and liquids? Perhaps your doctor would want to do a swallowing x-ray study. Your chronically loose stools make me want to suggest a high-quality probiotic, one with several strains, and a high cfu count. It's best to keep working with your doctor to try to find out the cause.

GERD/Irritable Bowel: You have had a GI consult and endo;colonoscopy done.Did you you discuss your symptoms with the sp[ecialist or your family doctor you may still have esophageal reflux and either irritable bowel syndrome or gluten sesitivity or celiac disease and may need more tests like blood and stool exam to find the cause of your symptoms and trial of diet and/or meds for reflux and bowels.
