What Causes Abdominal Pain And Constipation?
Hello. Yesterday I was having some very bad stomach pain and then realized I had been constipated for at least 24 hours. Since then, I ve had a couple of BMs, but today one of them was half normal-colored and half clay-colored, and I just wanted to see if that might be a normal part of recovering from constipation, or if I should go see a doctor?

hello,
i can understand your concern. i assume by BM you mean, blood motions? you appear to be having a case of acute gastro enteritis. Take a probiotic like Sporlac ds. If your problem persists, you would be required to take a course of antibiotics. eat foods rich in dietary fiber. stool of half normal and half clay colored is seen during recovery. donot worry about it. if you observe fresh blood or dark colored stools kindly get your stool sample evaluated.
Hope i have answered your query. Have a nice day
