A member asked:
My 17 year old son, after eating lots of fried foods (at least we assume this is why), complained of constipation with gas, abdominal pain and took laxatives. he then noticed some 2-3 small dark brown chunks in his stool, is this cause for concern?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
I'd only be concerned if there's red blood or black stools. However if he has ongoing abdominal pain, especially with associated tenderness,vomiting, abdominal distension and/or constipation, he should be evaluated by a physician.
