A member asked:
Constipated off and on for several weeks. 1st noticed small dark spots throughout and now small white spots. stool medium brown. what is going on?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Likely nothing: abnormal. Constipation and mucus in stool may explain both dark and light spots. Drink enough water so that your urine is watery, colorless and odorless. Increase your intake of fiber. You may wish to take a fiber laxative like Metamucil to relieve the constipation.
