Foamy stools in adults can be caused by lactose intolerance, intestinal flora imbalance, chronic pancreatitis and so on.
1. Lactose intolerance: some people have lactase deficiency in the small intestine mucosa and lactose absorption disorder, which causes bloating, diarrhea, abdominal pain and other symptoms, clinically manifested as watery stools, foamy stools and so on.
2. Intestinal flora dysbiosis: Intestinal flora dysbiosis can cause intestinal probiotics to be inhibited, resulting in the continuous reproduction of harmful bacteria, resulting in related clinical manifestations, such as diarrhea, stools with mucus or foamy stools and so on.
3. Chronic pancreatitis: Inflammation of the pancreas will cause the pancreas to secrete insufficient pancreatic digestive enzymes, leading to degradation of digestive function, clinical manifestations of increased stools with foul odor, foamy, and so on.
It is recommended that people with related symptoms should go to the hospital to get a clear diagnosis, so as to carry out targeted treatment.
