Water retention? Dehydration? Bladder problem? Colon Problem?

[The_Grinder]

Ok so I got some weird shit going on and I've been to the doctor for like 4 different reasons in the last month and im trying not to go again. im trying to figure this one out on my own. basically im having a lot of gas, shitting about 7 times a day, (small shits, fairly urgent every time, and never diarreah-esque) it makes me have to piss a lot too, especially with the gas. its really getting on my nerves. my dairy intake is fairly low. never have cheese anymore. i have gone through about a half gallon of skim milk in the past 2 weeks, so thats not much. should i try drinking more water? less water? less sodium? less whey protein? ideas???

irratable bowel syndrome - there are a number of diseases that fall under the ibs heading. have your doc refer you to a gastroenterologist (surprised he hasnt already)
theyll do the appropriate tests.
good luck bro

i think you have anxiety. all your issues tend to have a common factor, nerves.

i can tell by your posts. always thinking to much, what could it be, is it this, is it that.

most things like IBS have a common conection anxiety and depression.

Well I'm trying a few things first. I'm going to up my water intake a bit. Also, I'm going from just a little dairy to no dairy whatsoever. I'll try that for a week and go to the doctor if nothing changes.

ask him about anxiety...

i will, but anti-anxiety medicine and anti-depressants can cause sexual side effects. i cant think of anything more depressing than that anyway! but hopefully cutting all dairy and drinking more water will help my stomach.

Aren't you the one that gonna do a "colon cleanse". Did you do it?

What kind of food are you eating? Gas is usually caused by bacteria in the bowels.

im eating very clean. id say milk and the occasional parmasean cheese sprinkled on my food is as bad as it gets. it have taken a break from eggs, and nothing has changed, so eggs arent the problem. no milk for 2 days now. i feel a bit better but too early to know if thats a coincidence or not.
