hi.

its weekend now so other than IR I cant do anything but I hope thats not the case.

for about 1 week Ive been bloated after eating, some stomach pain aswell ( altough not always ) and my stool had a dark-green colour. i searched a bit online and it was not the really the darkish/tarry/reddish colour usually seen on google pictures, but still. i should mention because I work at the computer my eyes start to hurt and i really took a ton of ibuprofen last years because of that.

i also took active charochals this week, so probably because of that?

these last 2 days were a bit better with the stomach and as of right now stool is green-ish but I woke up with a stomach ache.

i am curious what should I expect and if I should get promptly to a doctor, even if I may feel better next few days. thing is with endoscopy its not straight forwafd here unless you an emergency, else wait for appointments.

i am male and 28 years old

    ooh that sounds really painful! you should look how long you"ve had thus pain for and whether it's got anything to do with charcoal? i think it bungs the bowel up! why do you take charcoal? does it do you any good? look at what it's got in it and whether you cc an replace it with another similar product, that does the same thing. if you cut that out see what it does.... if it does nothing then it"s not that, if it does then you'll know....

      Hi there.

      I took charocahl because of the bloating / stomach pain. It was not "really painful" but it was painful, supportable, As I said today, the stool was green-ish ( no more black tint, as such yesterday I took no charochal), I'll see how it goes tomorrow morning. The thing that scared me a bit was the pain I had in the stomach when I woke up this morning, was like 5 minutes, but I didn't ate anything yet.

      As for the bloating and general pain after eating, for the last 2 days I didn't had them.
