I'm very curious to know that if too much coffee consumption, can cause dark red diarrhea? If not? What should I do? Or if it does, should I lessen my coffee drinking?

@A myHIVteam Member. It's been going on for almost a year. I'm going to a walk-in clinic tomorrow morning, to see what the issue is.

Wow @A myHIVteam Member 🤣 Are you serious or joking? If you mean you have diarrhea and it smells like Folgers coffee, you're lucky 🤣 But I don't know what to tell you 🤔

Does it matter if the diarrhea smells like Folgers?

Okay @A myHIVteam Member, go get checked out and clear things up and you'll be more at ease. Maybe it was something you ate and it's nothing serious. Although, I forgot to mention, I had my gallbladder removed because everything I ate caused me pain and I had to rush to the bathroom because it made me feel sick. Since the surgery, I haven't had that problem anymore. The only thing is, when I eat out, if I need to use the bathroom, I have to go quickly because I can't hold it like I used to.

Ok @Un miembro de myHIVteam atiendase valla y haci sale de dudas y esta mas tranquilo a lo mejor fue algo que comio y no es nada malo, aunque se me olvido decirle a mi me sacaron la vecicula porque todo lo que yo comia me causaba dolor y tenia que correr para el baño porque me caia mal y desde que me operaron ya no tengo ese problema, lo unico cuando como afuera si meda con usar el baño tengo que hir rapido porque ya no aguanto como antes.

Well, @A myHIVteam Member, did you eat anything before you got that diarrhea? Have you tried taking any anti-diarrheal medication? If it lasts a week or less, it's best to see a doctor, but keep drinking fluids to stay hydrated. Here's a tip: take a spoon, fill it with water, and add a pinch of wheat flour. That helps stop diarrhea. I do it when anti-diarrheal medication doesn't work for me.

Bueno @Un miembro de myHIVteam te has comido algo antes de tener esas diarreas, has tratado de tomar algun medicamento contra la diarrea, si duras como maximo 1 semana mejor ve al doctor pero mantente tomando liquido para que te mantengas hidratado. Un tips coje una cuchara para comer llenala de agua y le añades una pisca de arina de trigo eso te ayuda a detener la diarrea yo lo hago cuando los medicamentos para la diarrea no me funcionan.
