Q. I am constipated, and my poop is light brown. Why?
Hi doctor,
I have pain and bloating on the left side of my upper stomach, just under my left breast. When I eat food, it starts to bloat up and is painful, like my ribs are having pressure pushed on them. I do not feel unwell with this symptom, but I have been constipated, and my poo is light brown. I have had the pain for about five days, but it is not as bad as it was, but it still hurts when I eat. I have no other symptoms.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
Thank you for writing, and I understand your concern.
Sir, the pain and bloating are due to acidity and constipation, so if we treat the underlying causes, you will be fine. Constipation is usually due to a low fiber diet, so I suggest you take a high fiber diet such as banana, orange, apple, green vegetables and drink plenty of water.
Have you ever noticed blood in stool?
How severe is the pain?
