Suggest Medication For Passing Of Pale Stool And Loss Of Appetite
Hi there, my name is Kathie. My son, age 24, about 7 years ago had a very serious & rare seminella(?) food poisoning, He recovered with the help of intravenus antibiotics for a straight 7 days. Since that time he has had some trouble from time to time with sharp abdomenal pain and the inability to move his bowels. It doesnt happen often. Recently he has had a grey to whitish stool and a major drop in appetite. He is concerned and so am I. He does plan on going to doctor to get checked out. Could this be something serious or related to his past experience with the food poisoning? Please advise.
