Continuous Diarrhea With Black Bean Like Things In Stools, Severe Cramps. Cause?
had diahrreah since late September (2 months now) mucousy, watery and painful cramps . Noticed black bean looking things in the stool , almost every time. They appear just like a black bean, not broken in most cases. I have not eaten any beans at all and wonder what this could indicate for my problem ... if anything. I am scheduled for a colonoscopy this week. Email address is YYYY@YYYY . Thanks.

Hello,
* Most possible issue sounds to be inflammatory bowel disease due to a lot of various reasons, ultimately disrupting the intestine flora to varying extent.
* Complete evaluation with a battery of lab tests, imaging studies and colonoscopy will help to diagnose the issue at its best.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
