Change In Color During Bowel Movement, Upset Stomach. Removed Parathyroid. Taking Vikodine
Hi, I am male, 44 yrs old, 6 feet, 165 lbs. I had a parathyroid removed last Friday (11-1-13). I have been taking some Tums for calcium and took two Vikodine since that time and was constipated. Two days ago i had a small hard bowel movement that looked normal in color. Today I had a somewhat hard bowel movement but the color was light tan, and my stomach has been slightly upset since last night.
