A member asked:
Past 4 months i have constant constipation with brown/yellowish spots on stool that last to 3-4 wks without aid of colon cleanse. anemic.what is this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not anemia: Constipation is almost always secondary to your dietary intake. Look at all the foods that you have been eating. Eliminate those foods known to cause it-I.e. The grains: rice, barley, oats; also milk and bananas. It should clear in just a few days time.
