Hi, I have recently had a change in my bowel movements. I have always gone every morning like clockwork but this last week things have been different. It started with different coloured stools (almost like a dark green) but that went away as the abdominal pain & feeling of always being "busting to go" even when I get off the toilet. I have also had a mild fever, stiff/sore neck & insomnia. Any suggestions would be helpful

Thanks in advance

    Hello mate,

    I tried chia seeds these are really good, soothing for stomach and intestines. Expands with water.

    drink a lot of water with this, let me know how it goes. I cannot say how much this has helped me been amazing. Fairly cheap and easy to get.

    Have you had any tests done? Your symptoms sound very much like ibs but if this is something that just started could be a viral or bacterial infection. If this keeps up I would suggest you see your doctor to rule out possibilities.

    Sometimes stool can be the color of the food you consumed for various reasons. The feeling of incomplete evacuation is very common with ibs. Good luck.

      Hi Audrey,

      Thanks for your reply. I also have greenish colored stools. I believe it is Diverticulitis. I have already had one round of Antibiotics but it doesn't seemed to have helped as its come back. I will need to go back to see him again.

      Thanks again
