What Causes Stool Color To Look Grey?
Hi, the last couple of days the colour of my stool suddenly has changed to a almost grey colour. I have had varied texture for the last 3 - 4 months. Often almost diarrhea like. But sometimes also almost normal . But always a bit slimy for the whole period. I have been pretty sure that it has had something to do with my diet that was kind of extreme from march through mid may, when I changed back to normal diet again.Is this something I should look up?Chris
