Trouble down below

[PaulnCarole]

Hope no-one's eating their tea when they read this! My hubby is having some trouble "down below". He describes his motions as similar to English mustard in colour, and very loose. I know he should ask the doctor, but does anyone have any other advice please? Thanks.

Is he generally well at the moment? If not, straight to doc. Okay, now lets get really gross. Do they smell bad? do they float? if this is the case it might be over indulgence in a greasy diet or insufficient enzymes being produced to digest the fat. again go to doc. Is there pain, nausea? in that case probably  food poisoning or tummy bug. to doc if bad or your husband has any other health problems, especially diabetes, otherwise, stop eating for 24 hours, clear liquids only then gradually reintroduce bland food. I hope this helps

If it's only been a day or two, it may be nothing more than too many plums or nuts or something like that; mild diarrhoea can happen to anyone. If any longer, or if there are any other symptoms, take woofgang's advice.

I would advise you not to keep it in a mustard pot or such similar utensil.
