Constipation After Taking Immodium AD For Diarrhea, Yellow With Black Seed Stools. Concerning?
Hello, I'm an American living in Mexico. About 6 weeks ago, I became very ill with explosive diarrhea that was yellow with black seeds (look like black watermelon seeds) in it. Stupidly, I took Immodium AD to stop the diarrhea and ended up with constipation problems. Now I've had poop that is yellow with black seeds or about 4 weeks? Is this Giardiasis Lamblia/Giardia Lamblia?

the black spots in stool could be blood but stool analysis is important.
after stool analysis it will be easy to know if lamblia or not.
