Hi, I mma normally healthy 22yr old female and my stool has a very strong sweet smell to it, it s a very dark brown-black color, when I attempt to pass my stool it feels like diarrhea but act s like I m constipated; my stool is small and floats with what looks to has clear stuff surrounding it. This has been going on for 4 day s now and in those matter of 4 day s I lost weight going from 135.8Ib down to 133.5lb. I keep getting sharp pains in my stomach as well. What should I do??
It might be due to indigestion. However if fever is there you must rule out intestinal infection. So consult physician if fever is present. If not then, drink oral rehydration solution (ORS WHO approved). You can also take probiotics along with ORS. Avoid spicy and oily foods. Drink lukewarm water with added lemon after getting up from bed and have 30-45 minutes walk in the morning.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
