A member asked:

Ive been farting and pooing pretty bad for past 2 weeks is it gastro or am i intolerant usually when i eat food any ideas what could be ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Might consider this: Gasiness/diarrhea may reflect diet (check your fiber intake), alterations in the population of healthy gut flora we each carry, food intolerances (like lactose, sorbitol), maldigestion due to problems of the small intestine, pancreas, or biliary tree, changes in GI motility (how well your GI tract mixes and moves food along), various infections, & even irritable bowel syndrome. Testing is easy.
