    Taking multiple shits every day, after a friend pointed it out that wasn’t normal I did a lactose test and found out I’ve been lactose intolerant all my life.

      Just for anyone else, it can be normal to have multiple shits per day. I’m glad you figured out you were lactose intolerant though.

      Kind of similar with me. It turned out IBS-like symptoms were one aspect of an Ankylosing Spondylitus diagnosis I got (posted about the disease in more detail yesterday). I had assumed I had a “fast metabolism” or something because I needed the bathroom almost immediately after eating a meal.

        that usually sounds like diarrhea, or very loose stool which is not normal. if your poop is not a nice solid sausage or a color. dint you notice any pain in your sacral region, i heard thats the most common before other joint pain comes in, plus the fusion.
