A member asked:

I have had loose stool for 1 week now. but it doesn't have a smell at all. i have not been sick with any illness and no stomach cramps. this just star?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Watch and wait: If just loose stool without fever, nausea, vomiting, belly pain then stay well hydrated and watch it for now. Can add Gatorade for some electrolytes. Possibly a reaction to a new med, new food, etc.. watch it for now and if worsens talk to your doctor.
