Hi all,

i dont know if I have a medical problem or not, but I have been looking for information to help explain what is happening to me..

About 8 years ago, I moved from the united kingdom, to the netherlands, and after about 6 months started to have diarheea (sorry for the spelling). My stool contained about 70% water. I thought nothing of it. Beliveing it was just the change in diet and such, however about 4 years into my stay in the netherlands, I was still in the same predicement when I ended up with a case of gastroenteritis (sorry for the spelling). This severaly crippled me for a few days. :)
anyway its now 8 years since it started, and still my stool is about 70% water. From what I can tell there is no mucus, no pain, no blood. But I have to go maybe 2 to 3 times a day. And have to stop what im doing to go. It also really smells bad.

Oh and, 8 months ago I moved back to the uk. But still have the same problem.

Any ideas as to what it could be, I ahve tried a high fiber diet. I have tried the stool firming medication but nothing seems to work.

Cheers
