I was using whey protein, which did not suit me and caused loose stools and two bowel movements per day. I continued using it, thinking my body would adjust, and took it for one month with milk, water, and curd. As a result, I started getting black loose stools. A stool test showed +fiber, +undigested food, and negative for mucus, blood, and infection. I stopped the whey protein and switched back to a normal diet, but the condition did not improve. It has been almost seven months, and now I am getting yellow loose stools. Sometimes the stool is normal, but other times it starts hard and ends loose. Doctors have told me that I have weak intestines. I have also lost weight; previously I weighed 63 kg, and now I weigh 58 kg.

You may have developed lactose intolerance or IBS. Further stool tests, celiac screening, or colonoscopy may help. Avoid irritants, eat light, and consult a gastroenterologist.

Dr. Shaik Suggests...

Take a STOOL EXAMINATION, PH & REDUCING SUBSTANCES Test
