Having Dark, Gray Diarrhoea And Hep C. On Coumadin, Immodium And Pepto Bismol. Not Cured. Any Advice?
I ve had diarrhea for more than a week, and it s gotten worse in the past three days. I m passing dark, now gray, foul-smelling and oily looking stools perhaps 8 to 10 times per day. I don t have stomach upset. I often don t have warning. I have Hep C ( asymptomatic ), am on Coumadin (for an implanted aortic valve ), have tried Immodium and Pepto Bismol and nothing seems to affect it. I have not changed my diet, not been on any antibiotics. I have changed nothing.

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern if you do not have any other symptoms like abdominal pain, vomiting, fever then no need to worry about this, take care in diet certain kind of food changes the color and odor of stool but this is nothing to worry in my opinion it is better to get done the stool examination, hope this information helps you, have a nice day.
