i posted a thread a few days ago because i was having symptoms of frequent bowel movements, thin stools that were kinda coppery in color. this had been going on for a week or so. then they got darker in color and a little thicker. Then they were almost black looking, then black mixed with a more "normal" looking brown. yesterday i started taking some metamucil and the stools are looking normal thickness and color now, but are still really frequent - up to 4 times a day. i can go all day without having to go, but then ill have to go like 4 times in a row. im having a few gas pains but nothing too bad. what does this sound like? any suggestions would be great cause this is getting annoying!
