Question 1

too many nuts cause loose stools, and red color? little chunks of red? i don't think it's blood, since it doesn't seem to be a liquid. suggestions??

Accepted Answer

Red in stool: If you recently ate a red-appearing material, then you may have rapid intestinal transit resulting in the food's inadequate digestion.  However, be concerned since blood clots may also appear as red blobs.  Bleeding in such a case can be without warning, brisk, &amp; originate anywhere in the gut (from esophagus, stomach, to rectum. Don't hesitate to seek confirmation &amp; care.

Question 2

i can't tolerate fiber or more than a bit of sugar. they cause discomfort and loose stools - sometimes foamy or just liquid for hours the next morning?

Accepted Answer

Supplements?: Are you talking about fiber supplements? It is common for fiber supplements to cause some cramping and loose stools when first starting on them. Why are you taking the fiber? It may just mean that you need to get your fiber from fresh fruits and vegetables and whole grains.

Question 3

are there c diff strains that don't cause watery d. maybe loose stools or mushy liquid bms? like once a day. or 1-4x a day on some days.

Accepted Answer

Maybe: Without knowing more about you, it's impossible to say. But persistent diarrhea as you prescribe warrants an evaluation by a doctor. Good luck.

Question 4

can loose stools change color of toliet water (dark brown/light brown stools)? done stool test negative of blood but recently started liquid iron

Accepted Answer

Patients on: Iron supplementation typically report that their stools are darker, even without blood loss.

Question 5

night i suddenly got vomitings and loose stools in the form of brown watery liquid even now i am having vomiting sensations with stomach pain bad tast?

Accepted Answer

Gastroenteritis: Gastroenteritis aka stomach flu can cause nausea &amp; vomiting. But so can food poisoning. Try to stay hydrated. Go see your family doc if this persists. Don't allow yourself to get dehydrated and feel weak, light-headed, faint, etc.

Question 6

can bright yellow liquid (looks like neon urine) on top of loose stool be from supplements (b12,fish oil, magnesium citrate or other?)

Accepted Answer

Supplements : Can cause your urine to look strange  colors, especially B vitamins so if you urinate over stool it might look that way

Question 7

swelling in jaw. slight yellow tongue some mornings.inflamed taste buds.loose stool sometimes.neck felt swollen small pain when drinking liquids. hiv?

Accepted Answer

Otolaryngologist: These symptoms are nondiagnostic. In view of the presence of jaw swelling, I recommend an evaluation by a otolaryngologist and any appropriate tests or referral to other specialists will be ordered.

Question 8

is there other things that can cause undigested food in stool besides having loose stool been going on for 1 1/2 months, started taking meds away.

Accepted Answer

Rapid transit: You need to be seen and evaluated by a gastroenterologist and learn why this is occurring. Go soon.

Question 9

does taking magnesium cause loose stools. i stopped taking it a couple weeks ago yet still continue to have them. 
been about 6 weeks ?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Magnesium is indeed a stool softener (like in Milk of Magnesia).  It pulls water into the bowel to soften the stool.

Question 10

Accepted Answer

Yes: Beer is a also a good stool softener. Wine is from grapes which can also cause soft stool.
