Brief Answer:
For how long has this been going on?

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this difficulty with your stools. I will like to know for how long this has been going on. If this has been for more than a week, I will certainly suggest that you get a stool exam carried out. If this is a recent occurrence, dietary modifications XXXXXXX be at the origin and this would subside spontaneously. Let me know which applies to you and what the best next steps are.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be. Above all, thanks for using our services.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I will suggest that you see a gastroenterologist to get this figured out. I wish you well. A year is sufficiently long and suggests that there could be a real underlying cause.

Keep me updated with the progress.
