Suggest Remedy For Light Colored Motions And Stomach Problems
I've been having stomach problems for about a week, including constipation, and bad gas. 3 days ago I had bad diarrhea that lasted around 11 hours. For the past 3 days my stools have been a light beige color and the consistency of clay. This is not normal for me. Usually my stools are dark brown and not soft. Should I go see a doctor or will my body recover on its own?
