Why Is My Stool Dark And Hard When I Try To Quit Smoking?
I have celiac and every time I try to quit smoking my stool turns really dark and hard...I eat mostly fruits and vegetables. I eat a lot of salads and not very much meat. I eat tofu and other vegan/gluten free meats too... also, I seem to retain a lot of water and have to urinate very little... any suggestions?

You are habituated with moking and bowel movment. Your urine out putisless So you can do a renal function test. Stoolexamination may be done. Stool colour depends on food intake. Iron rich food can give high colour stool Stop nonveg for some time. You will improve slowly.
