Constipation After Taking Immodium AD For Diarrhea, Yellow With Black Seed Stools. Concerning?
Hello, I'm an American living in Mexico. About 6 weeks ago, I became very ill with explosive diarrhea that was yellow with black seeds (look like black watermelon seeds) in it. Stupidly, I took Immodium AD to stop the diarrhea and ended up with constipation problems. Now I've had poop that is yellow with black seeds or about 4 weeks? Is this Giardiasis Lamblia/Giardia Lamblia?
hi thanks for your question. you urgently need to see doctor for stool analysis. the black spots in stool could be blood but stool analysis is important. after stool analysis it will be easy to know if lamblia or not. Hope I answered your question.
