Hello, I hope anyone could help me. So I have a history of having a sensitive stomach I've experienced having peptic ulcers and the pain of it a year ago. Now something is not right with my stool. About a week ago I started having diarrhea and I realised it has a fishy stench and had oily light brown color floating. I experience no physical pain nor any headaches, fever or anything. I only experience being slightly gassy/bloated during the night times and I would just relieve myself in the morning with a lot of gas and still the same type of stool but with the occasional small soft broken stools. Fast forward a week to the present I still have no pain or whatsoever but my stool has now look much paler floating then it slowly sinks to the bottom. It looks like it has mucus on it. Is this a pancreatic problem or do I have a parasite? Hope that anyone can help me clear some things up before I go to the doctor. Thanks.
