A member asked:
Over the last few months i have needed to open my bowels after almost every meal. my stools are also quite runny. just wondering what this could be?

Many possibilities: This could be anything from not enough fiber in the diet to infection to irritable bowel disease or inflammatory bowel disease. Try to avoid spicy foods, or too much caffeine. Eat more fiber. If still going then may have to talk to your doctor.
