Could be as simple: As taking a probiotic, but it is clear that your digestive system is in poor shape. It could be ibs or gluten sensitivy. You need to be checked.

Been straining to pass stool. Lately its been a hard dark brown consistency. I examined a piece and it felt hard and thick, like clay kind of. Is this normal? Am I just constipated? Ive also been having pain on my left side of my lower abdomen?
