A member asked:

Diarrhea 2 days then green stool yesterday now brown half normal half soft. think whatever is going down there is getting better?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Give it time: If it is getting better, give it time to recover. If the loose stools recur, try taking an over the counter treatment like Pepto-Bismol or Motrin tablet.
