Loose stools for 5 days...
Posted , 5 users are following.
Hi all,
I've been having loose stools almost every day for five days.
Most of the times it still has "structure", but still does not feel like normal poop, if that makes sense. It's literally just loose, with a foul odor, and a yellow-brown color. There was one day of watery stool, I believe.
But the strange thing is, I've been only having one poop a day, so I don't think it classifies as diarrhea. And when I look up food poisoning or stomach bug on Google, it says diarrhea usually doesn't last over 2 days.
So what is wrong with me?
If it helps at all, I previously posted about my stomach problems (I assume it's something to do with acid). Doc said gastritis, but no tests were done.
Thank you!

Hey, I just went through the same thing a couple months ago, it lasted about 3 weeks, but my stools now go back and fourth. It's not diarrhea but it's definitely more soft. I've got a scope and colonoscopy in a week. I'll let you know what they say. The yellow I think is bile, or lack there of. I did go to a GI and he said if he had to guess it was IBS, or something like Crone's. Mine start after I started taking zantac twice a day, but even after I stopped taking them it's remained the same. Are you on any antacids?

Hi! Thanks for the reply.
I tried several antacids a few months ago, but I quit because they made me super nauseated.
Currently, I'm not taking anything except occasional Zofran to control my random nausea.

Thank you!
I feel like it could be the chocolates my friend gave me after coming back from a trip... But usually I get over that in a day or so. Oh well, hopefully it's nothing serious!

I should try the food diary... Perhaps it's leftover acid from my stomach? >w<
