Posted on Fri, 4 Sep 2015
Question: For the last two days i have noticed very hard little dark brown pieces of stool mixed in with my stool. They are only small (size of a pebble) but are hard. I recently had a flexi sigmoid for persistent mushy stool put came back all clear. Any idea what this could be? No other symptoms - i am 27 y/o male.

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you for using HCM.


You are reporting to have dark and hard pieces mixed with stools. That may be related to :

-Chelation effects of substance (chelation agent) that you have eaten the past few days.

-change your diet using fruits with seeds/sea foods.



Otherwise, to give an accurate opinion I need to know more information like:

- have you change your diet recently?

- have you used fruits with seeds?

- have you used any supplements or medication recently?

Mean time I would like to suggest :

- avoid precook meals (with con servants and chelation agents)

- eat a healthy diet reach in fresh fruits and vegetables

- drink plenty of water

Wishing you all the best.
