Suggest Treatment For Loose Stool With Stringy Discharge
Hello, my stools haven't been solid for a few months. It looks like unstirred powder or a little more puffy at times. I tried pepto for two days. Also eating bland foods like toast and things without seasonings. Also tried not eating. Nothing moving in my stool that I can see. I get very slight stomach ache at my lower right not so often. Also my stool had been stringy .
