Many possibilities: 9 poops/day & tender abdomen is not normal. Many causes- diet, infection, metabolism, altered gut physiology/inflammation... Start food & poop diary immediately (incl coffee,milk,everythng), & see your Dr. Show Dr your diary, which may hold clues. Dr. will examine you, test your stool & blood, & if necessary send you to specialist to look inside (colonoscopy). One or more of these will hold answer
