Food Poisoning Sign #4: Stool Changes
Stool changes is based on the frequency, color, and consistency of the stool. Normal stool is usually in varying shades of brown, soft, and easily passed. The frequency varies for each individual and can range from several times a day to twice a week. It is also important to look for the presence of blood or mucous in the stool.
In food poisoning cases, the stool can be bloody or contain mucus if the colonic or intestinal mucousa is invaded. Food poisoning caused by cholera can also cause profuse rice-watery stool.
