Feedback:
Symptoms of Meckel's diverticulum include the passage of bloody or tarry stools. Meckel's diverticulum is a congenital disorder in which a small portion of the ileum ends in a blind pouch. Loose and watery stools are found in the case of diarrhea. A currant-jelly stool is found in the case of intussusception, and floating and fatty stool is found in celiac disease.
