What Are Diarrhea, Tightness In Stomach And Green Algae Like Stools Suggestive Of?

I have been upset at my stomach for over a week now. I had diarrhea last week but it has ceased. Now I have stomach aches like turning knots in stomach. Now for 2 days when I go to the bathroom my stool has a green algae like all around it. Was wondering if I should be concerned.

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello
You need to get an H pylori screen to see if you have a stomach infection since, if you do, it can be eradicated with a course of antibiotics. I would also send a stool sample to the lab for microscopic and culture and sensitivities since you may also have a bacterial colitis condition.
