Seeing food I ate in poop within 4 hours
Dear doctor, Below are my details Age - 26 Weight - 81 kgs Existing conditions - Small fiber neuropathy Existing medication - Ciplar 10mg for palpitations and duloxetine 10mg for burning sensation. Current issue - Seeing food i ate within 4 hours in poop Details - I have this problem of pooping multiple times a day. Recently I am noticing that whenever I eat beetroot or spinach, they come out in poop within 4 hours. Also, the poop keeps on floating most of the time and doesn't sink. I don't have any abdominal pain but have gas trouble. Not experiencing any weight loss or weakness. Took a stool routine test and stool occult blood test. RBC and Pus cells were 4-6 hpf, bacteria and vegetable cells were present but no presence of occult blood. Kindly advice me whether this is normal.
