Suggest Treatment For Severe Abdominal Pain

Posted on Tue, 3 Jan 2017

Question: To whom it may concern. I have been having bowl issues. I dont have any stomach pain or any pain for that matter. No diahreah either. But the color of my stool has been changing. It changes from brown, to light brown, at almost clay colored.
The clay colored worries me because ive read that is a sign of cancer.
I feel fine but i am really worried.

Brief Answer:
No need to worry

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Clay colored stools indicate obstruction to bile flow.
But there would be other associated symptoms like yellowish urine, yellowish eyes.
You do not have any of these symptoms. So there is no need to worry.

I will also have a look at the color when you post the picture.

Regards,
Dr.R.K
