A member asked:

What to do if i have about 5-6 bm's a day! i have noticed now that my stool is like a dark gray/green. is that normal?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Abnormal stools: Malabsorption comes to mind which can be intestinal like celiac sprue or pancreatic like chronic pancreatitis; also colonic problems, infection, inflammatory bowel disease are in the differential diagnosis-see your gastroenterologist
