Suggest Remedy For Abdominal Pain With Dark Stools
I'm 18 years old, have been having some pain in my abdomen for 2 weeks. Today, when I went to the bathroom, my stool was dark and flaky. The parts falling off looked kind of like ash, and it looked as if it could fall apart really easily. A few days ago I had diarrhea. What does this mean?

Hello. This could indicate an intestinal infection. Kindly get a stool examination done. Do you have any other symptoms apart from pain abdomen like fever, nausea or vomiting. Have you noticed any blood in stools? Have you taken any antibiotics? Kindly get stool evaluation done. Can take symptomatic treatment with anti spasmodic drug like rmebeverine (Tab. Colospa) to reduce your abdominal pain.
