Sensitive Stomach, Feeling Of Glass Shards In Stomach, Greenish Yellow Stools. History Of Drinking Turpentine As Child. Any Impact?

Hi my roommate has a stomach problem, when he was a little boy, his older brother talked him into drinking Turpentine and as far as he can remember, his folks didn't take him to te hospital as they were scared of what the hostipal staff would say, but, he's not certain as to the reason why! Anyways, his stomach is very sensitive to catching all sorts of bugs and he is wondering if his experience in the past with the turpentine has any bearing on the health of his stomach today, he is forty one and worried! He says it feels like glass shards in his stomach and his bowelmovements the last couple of days are a greenish-yellowy colour! He says he gets that shard feeling every now and then! What can we do? Suggestions?!

Hi, Your friend is 41 years, he is having irregular bowel movements, greenish every now and then.
Even the feeling of having drinking turpentine can bring him the feeling and irregularity, of stomach, psychologically, that effect may not be there with him till now, It might be some intolarance of food, or some infection like amoebiasis.
I advise him to avoid spices, junk foods. and oily foods.
Thank you.
