Hi! I had a bout of colitis last week. parasite test has not come back yet. It s not c diff or salmonella. I had intestinal bleeds, bits of my intestine come out, etc. liquid diet for a day or two then slowly introduced foods. Colonoscopy scheduled for November. I m doing well, but I am having these weird fuzzy brown poos now. What s causing that?
Hello, I understand your concern. I am Chat Doctor, infectious diseases specialist, answering your query. In my opinion you should test for occult blood in the stool. I suspect there is an internal hemorrhage in the intestines and which resulted in brown color because of the digestion of hemoglobin. If occult blood test or OBT is positive, it is internal hemorrhage. The cause for hemorrhage must be known, in order to it colonoscopy must be done to diagnose and so to treat the cause. I will be happy to answer your further concern, you can ask me on bit.ly/ Chat Doctor.  Thank you. ChatDoctorInfectious diseases specialist.
