A member asked:

What could cause loose, greenish yellow, pussy bowel movements with unusually foul odor? just came on. not feeling that sick.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Good question: Chances are that if this is a never before symptom then it has been caused by something ingested. Get to see your family physician or a gastroenterologist very soon.
