Nerves are kind of on edge after having a decently long lasting bout of constipation. Saw the doctor, got an X-Ray done and they confirmed it was just typical constipation.
I was doing better for 3-4 days, and then I got hit with really sudden diarrhea. After that, I noticed when I have a bowel movement my stool is a much darker color...not quite black, but very dark brown. There's also some mucus in the stool too, something I've never had before. My only other symptoms currently are a loss of appetite and a lot of gas.
I can't think of anything I possibly ate to cause it to look so dark. Is this normal? I'm only 18 with no history of stomach issues so I know I'm probably worrying over nothing, but I still could use some reassurance.
