Could Constant Dark And Green Bowel Movement During Diarrhea Suggest Something Serious?
Hi , I have had diarrhea a few months now. Abdomen feels doughy and a bit painful. After eating I must go to the bathroom at once . I have been eating flax and taking anti diarrheal over the counter meds. Any ideas? Diarhhea is dark and greenish in color. I am 45 with no current health insurance. I am beginning to have fear.
