Hi

A horrible subject but I have this kind of thing happening. Because of long-term use of Azathioprine my pancreas is no longer working properly and so is not absorbing the right things from food. It was the dis- coloured faeces that brought all this to my attention.

Ask your doctor if this is a possibility for you? Have you lost weight recently without really trying? The pancreas failure can cause diabetes - have you been tested for this recently - apparently this can cause dis-colouration to.

Hope this helps.
