What Causes Severe Stomach Cramps, Diarrhea And Dark Green Stool Postpartum?
My newborn is 12 days old now and a few days ago when I had a bowel movement I had horrible cramping and diarrhea that was dark green/black colored. Now haven t had a movement in a few days and just started getting bad cramping again and can hear my guts rumbling and it was just a dark greenish color again. Now I am breastfeeding and my baby is having painful times with gas and pooping but his are yellow/orange. He s been crying almost every time.

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, such abdomen symptoms could be due to protozoa infection and it can be best treated with "Tab Metronidazole 400 mg" twice in day for five days, this is nothing to worry, hope this information helps, take care and have a nice day.
