Could my recent diarrhea and dark stools be caused by irritable bowel syndrome, eating chicken and goat meat, or taking medications like rifaximin, Librax, and Velgut, and is this a serious problem?
Your diarrhea could be related to irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) or a mild reaction to the chicken or goat meat. The medications you are taking?rifaximin, Librax, and Velgut?are typically prescribed to help manage these exact symptoms. Dark stools can sometimes occur due to dietary factors, but they can also occasionally indicate bleeding in the digestive tract. While this is likely manageable, it is important to have your doctor evaluate the dark stools to ensure your safety. Please stay hydrated and consult your healthcare provider soon.
