Experienced Terrible Pain. Diagnosis As Kidney Stones. Diarrhea Followed With Colored Stool.Is It Normal?

I experienced terrible, consuming pain on Thursday evening which was diagnosed as a kidney stone, after which I had shocking diarrhea. That was Thursday and until this morning and hadn't moved my bowels, I just did finally and it was very dark in colour, is this normal? I still have not passed the stone....to my knowledge.

Nephrologist 's  Response
hello!

Okey, so we are talking about renal stones here but the cause of diarrhoea is not clear. if you would have been prescribed antibiotics, then this diarrhoea could be explained. the given description is not sufficient to understand the cause of diarrohea. very dark or black colred stool is not normal and you should get a stool examination done.
Thanks
