many thanks for your reply

No change in diet, in fact have had no appetite since the sudden onset of this condition mid am 3 days ago and have not consumed food that would reference said color.

Stools are very watery and not substantial.

Stomach tender to touch and bloated and cannot pull it in - again tender. Waves of intense cramp - hourly.

many thanks

How are you feeling now?

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks for these responses. Unfortunately, I have been away from my desk and will like to know how you are feeling at this time so as to provide information that is still of use to you.

Let me hear back from you if you are still having these symptoms. However, this is most likely a transient observation not suggestive of an ongoing pathology or pathological process.

Keep me posted on this especially about your current health state.
