A member asked:
I have abdominal adhesions and am typically constipated, but the last several weeks my stool looks like coffee grounds with chunks of undigested food.

Need Appointment: Whenever a patient tells me their stool looks like coffee grounds they need a test to see if this is digested blood within the intestines. Abdominal adhesions can increase your risk of bowel incarceration (twisting). I would make an appointment soon to have your stool sample analyzed.
