Stomach Cramping, Dark Stools. What Could Be The Reason?
Hello, my stomach has been cramping and my stools are kinda of dark. I am unable to receive the kind of well balanced diet a person needs because of money. I normally eat rice, pasta, chicken, and some veggies when I can. My stools float sometimes and sometimes look fine, but then it looks darker, sinks, and is a little more liquid. What do you suggest. Thank you
