I’m 30 years old and in fairly good shape. Is it likely this could be an issue? I’ve been having loose stools for a while, but I’m not sure if that’s due to me moving to a more veggie diet. But the recent gurgling, burping and diarrhoea has come on over the past 4/5 days.
I’d be grateful for any thoughts, reassurance or anyone else who’s had similar?
Too much fibre, or introducing too much fibre too quickly, will give you the shits and your colon won't know what's hit it!
This will also create other gastro symptoms like gurgling, excessive wind, and stomach cramps- especially if you're hammering flatulence offending veggies like cauliflower, broccoli and cabbage.
Throw in some good old health anxiety fear because of these (expected) dietary changes - and you've got IBS.
