Question About #2

Hi everyone,

I realize this isn't the most pleasant topic, nonetheless i'll get straight to the point.

Every morning I go to work, have some coffee, and have my breakfast, which is normally a frozen banana/protein/unsweetened almond milk/flaxseed shake with blueberries & strawberries mixed in. 99% of the time, this induces a bowel movement. I normally feel it coming on and can comfortably get to the bathroom and "go" no problem. I will then, more often than not, feel pretty empty and fine.

The problem then starts about 3 hours later. I have a snack, a small snack, such as a Greek yogurt, an apple, just something small. After eating this snack, whatever it is, I then have the urge to "go" again. Except this time, instead of practically forcing it's way out like my first BM, this time i'm just incredibly gassy, feel bloated, and I have to quite literally go to the toilet and push it out. It's often very small and not comfortable at all.

The same thing then happens AGAIN when I eat my lunch. Normally i'll either have peanut butter and jelly or a grilled chicken sandwich, nothing too big but enough to fill me up. And once again, I get this unpleasant, gassy, bloated feeling, which prompts to go to the bathroom and push another one out.

The funny thing though is that when I eat dinner, which is definitely my biggest meal of the day (I know this shouldn't be the case but it's just the way it is), I feel perfectly fine afterwards. Never have a bloated feeling, never have the urge to go after dinner, EVER. It's only during the morning and early afternoon, prompted by much, much smaller meals.

What it boils down to is that I go once in the morning, and even though I initially feel empty and fine, it's almost like i'm not getting "all" of it out, and it then takes 2-3 more very uncomfortable, small BMs to feel "empty" until the cycle repeats itself the next day.

Any ideas what could be going on?
