10 year old son pooing 15 times a day

Hiya my son has a problem for the last 6 weeks he his going for a number 2 15 or more times a day he has lost 1 stone in weight since october he isnt eating has he had currently was im a coeliac sufferer and asks doctors to test him it came back negative and his full blood count was good im just soooo worried has anyone any reasons this is happening thank u in advance

Ideally he should be seen by a pediatric gastroenterologist. I agree that stool cultures, inflammatory blood markers and a colonoscopy are in order. This is far too long for these symptoms to be going on, and suggests IBD, IBS or some other chronic problem.

It isn't in his head if he lost a stone and has been stooling 15 times a day. He's only 10 years old; don't tell him it's in his head!

You need to understand what stool and blood tests were performed. For example, my daughter has had blood in her stool since age 2, randomly, and with few other symptoms. She's had stool cultures done probably four or five times now (she's almost 14). They only ever test for parasites. They have never done any kind of inflammatory marker test on her stool (we are in the US and this test is not standard). It may be standard in the NHS - or more readily available. Ask your DR about fecal calprotectin testing.

It's interesting that he held his bowels for so long. Why would he think his insides were going to fall out? Did he have a bad episode of diarrhea before that?

I think it's unusual for a 10 year old to suddenly become phobic of defecation. This happens to toddlers but I'd be concerned if my 10 year old had such a change in outlook.

If you hold your stool for 2 weeks it wouldn't surprise me to have days of diarrhea following that. Did you tell your pediatrician about his need to retain his poop?
