Bowel Movements Are Small And Pebble-like, Light Brown Or Green And Smell Foul. Feedback?

I often feel the desperate urge to run to the bathroom but when i do, my bowel movements are small and pebble-like, very light brown or green, and smell foul. I have had digestive problems for months now. Just recently i started having solid bowel movements and about a week ago it started happening again. I know i should go to a doctor, but i would like to get some feedback first so that i know what might be going on.

Hello,
After going through your complaints and as you don't have any other complaints other than this GI complaints - it is more probably GI oriented.
1) Indigestion - as per your statement you have this problem already. Take USG abdomen to exclude any digestive organ anomaly like liver, pancreas, and small and large intestines. If there is treat accordingly.
2) Amebiasis - can produce constipation alternating with diarrhea - A course of anti amoebic will be useful along with anti worm.
Take fiber rich diet
Take digestive Enzymes + probiotics
Take plenty of hygienic water
Take easily digested food - diet rich in carbohydrate are easily digested
Avoid Fast foods and high oil and fatty items
I think with this management you will be alright
My best wishes
