A member asked:
My mom has been having diahrea for almost a week now but today she had yellow hard balls in her stool. what could it be?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Diarrhea for that: length of time means your mom needs to see a doctor. She needs to find out the cause and be treated. This will make her very weak and imbalance her electrolytes, the chemicals that are vital for cell function in the body. Peace and good health.
