Dear Ask The Doctor: Right before I have to use the bathroom I get a really bad pain my lower abdomen area to the point I can barely stand, and when I do use the bathroom my stool is green and has been green for over a week. Why is this?
Dear Courtney: It is possible that you are suffering form bacterial gastroenteritis for which antibiotics may be required. The symptoms of bacterial gastroenteritis usually resolves within a couple of days. i would advise that you drink plenty of fluids (8-10 glasses of clear fluids), eat small and frequent meals, eat food with rich source of potassium including bananas, potatoes and fruit juices. |
