What Could Stomach Pain With Muddy Stools Suggest?
My boyfriend has had bad stomach pains and pressure and hasn't been having regular bowel movements. He's been super gassy and finally tonight he used the restroom. But when he did it was clay like in color and looked to be of muddy consistency. Is this something we should worry about?

Hello,
The stomach pain with muddy stools suggests underlying intestine infection.
In our clinic we recommend probiotics with proton pump inhibitors to be considered with dietary measures, anti-biotics later on if required.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel
