Ok, no blood noticeable, just dark orange. Usually i have a very very pale/clay like stool, but i started arava a few days back and now it is all dark orange and i have extremely soft stools with about 3 or 4 bowel movements a day.
I haven't eaten anything to make it orange.
Driving me nuts.
Oh, along with it, i also started eating lots of grains like breakfast cereal that doesn't contain milk (i can't have dairy) as well as pastas.
Thanks milly and suzanne.
Suzanne...
I didn't know mobic could do that, before it went brownish/orange, it was the very pale/yellowy color and i have been on mobic since last june.
I ran out of drugs along the lines of naproxen and ibuprofen, celebrex etc. due to how my stomach said "no" when i tried to take them. Mobic was prescribed, i just don't know what else i can take that won't upset my stomach. Mobic was the only one that didn't upset it and make my entire body swell up.
I think you're a tad obsessed with your bowel movements! This is the third thread I have read from you regarding poop.LMAO and yes sometimes a bit TMI about color, smell, drips eeewwww

The song "Everything Comes Down To Poo"
J.D.:
Hey, Ms. Miller -- we just need a stool sample
Patti:
Why do you need a stool sample if you think I'm just a nut?
Turk & JD:
'Cause the answer's not in your head, my dear -- it's in your butt!
J.D.:
You see....
Everything comes down to poo!
From the top of your head, to the sole of your shoe
We can figure out what's wrong with you by lookin' at your poo!
Turk?
Turk:
Do you have a hemorrhoid or is it rectal cancer?
When you flush your dookie down, you flush away the answer!
J.D.:
It doesn't really matter if it's hard or if it's loose
We'll figure out what's ailing you, as long as it's a deuce!
Yes!
Everything comes down to poo!
Nurses:
Everything comes down to poo!
J.D.:
Cardiovascular and lymphatic, yes, the nervous system, too!
All across the nation, we trust in defecation!
Everything comes down to poo!
Turk:
If you want to know what's wrong, don't sit and act so cool
Just be a man and eat some bran, and drop the kids off at the pool!
Robed Woman (spoken):
My stomach hurts
J.D.:
Check the poo
Limping Woman (spoken):
I sprained my ankle
Turk:
Check the poo!
Bloody Shoulder Guy (spoken):
I was shot!
J.D.:

Delivery Guy (spoken):
A homeless guy threw poo in my eye!
Turk:
Check the poo!
Delivery Guy (spoken):
Mine or his?
J.D.:
First him, then you!
It may sound gross, you may say "shush!"
J.D. & Turk:
But we need to see what comes out of your tush!
Because!
All:
Everything comes down to poo!
Whether it's a tumor or a touch of the flu!
J.D. & Turk:
Please, won't you pinch us off a big, fat clue!
Turk:
Our number one test is your Number Two!
All:

J.D.:
Doo-doo!
Turk:
Doo-doo!
All:
Everything comes down to ... poo!
Just wanted to make someone smile. I love this episode, all they do is sing
Aloe vera is excellent to repair the bowel - Walmart carries big jugs of aloe vera juice and it's a good product, found in the laxative section. You can also try charcoal capsules OTC from the health food store, which is a natural filter.
The taboos about talking about bowel movements should be way over when we are bombarded with male erectile dysfunction and feminine hygiene products on the tv. Keep the faith and definitely be concerned about your bowel health. Cathy
Apparently I can't ask about health problems. I always figured if you don't want to read a post, then don't read it.
