Hi there, I'm 16 years old and weight about 145 lbs.

My problem is that I have to go frequently during the day. I mean 2 or 3 hours or less after a meal I find that I'm going to the bathroom. I really don't know when I started getting this problem, but I do think that something is wrong.

I'm continuing to take an acidophilus supplement after a months worth of antibiotics (Minocycline). It may be caused because of the antibiotic, but I also want to hear from you and see what you think.

Thanks in advance, I appreciate your help and take care !!! http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/smile.gif

Hi, there. I would recommend getting to a doctor for a definitive diagnosis. You may have IBS, or bile salt diarrhea, or any other digestive conditions that cause the same symptoms. Do you have diarrhea or formed stools? If you're going 2-3 hours after every meal, that may just be the way your system is. But if you're having diarrhea after your meals, you may have something else going on. Your doctor can diagnose your problem, and then here on the boards you can receive advice/suggestions on how to deal with your condition.

Good luck to you,

Actually I don't suffer from diarrhea or constipation, so I don't think it could be something serious. Thanks for helping. Does anyone else have any suggestions ???

One meal in and one meal out. That is the way the body is suppose to work.

Sounds like your body is doing a good job. Be Happy, not worried.

I suggest you try taking Metamucil -- a water absorbable fiber supplement. It acts as a bowel regulator.

It sounds to me like you have a fast acting digestive system. This probably is nothing to worry about.

It should only concern you if you have diarhhea all the time. Or are having a malabsorbtion problem.

If you are really worried talk to your doctor.

But it does not sound like a real problem.
