Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have noticed small tiny white specks in my stool on and off for about a month. They are very tiny (size of a pinhead of smaller) but can be seen by the naked eye. They are perfectly round and very hard. For the past few days I have been constipated with a stomach ache and an uncomfortably full feeling. Last night I got a horrid cramp and had explosive diarrhea. I have spina bifida and use a power wheelchair so getting to the bathroom doesn t happen in a timely manner. thee complete changes of bedclothes and 3 showers later, I was finally able to sleep. Today, I drank 2 regular Pepsi because I was too shaky to drive to the store for Pedialyte. I ate 2 scrambled eggs with nothing else not even salt or pepper. About 20 minutes later I ate one slice of honey turkey....REAL turkey...not deli meat. Now I am a mess again and so frustrated. Can you give me ANY idea what the little white balls could be? I don t have a gall bladder. The stool is also very foul smelling.
