Contains pictures of stools please watch out!!!

4 weeks ago had sudden change of bowels to only pebbles/dehydrated stools and everytime I ate something like apples or strawberry I would have extreme bloating.

Days passed and after drinking a bottle of 750ML my stools started smelling like grease and looked light brown, also floated all the time. This is malabsorption but ultrasound and bloods was fine.

Everytime I go to sleep or eat anything I have bloating, if I drink water while bloated it gets worse.

I'm going to the washroom everyday 3-4x a day, sometimes I just pass pebbles.

Then yesterday after drinking coffee I had ribbon/flat stools with elongated stools: (NSFW: https://imgur.com/a/tAFgPLi)

3 days before this stool I also had a seemingly normal stool: NSFW - https://imgur.com/a/BeQ0iRe

And now I had loose stools which were also narrow and flat, "Pyramid-like": NSFW - https://imgur.com/a/s8bUXox

Update 1: NSFW https://imgur.com/a/hu7epXJ as you can see this stool has a narrow tail and a bulk head, like it's compressing at the end.

update 2: NSFW; https://imgur.com/a/KfDoHDh Extremely pencil thin stool and elongated.

How could've a tumour grown this fast to start?

Yesterday and today I pooped string. On I pulled apart and it looked like hair? Someone help!

Sometimes i get mad rashes because of the soap i use. I know to not use soap but its basically part of my routine?? So what brand can i use?

30F, 7 weeks post partum. I got hemorrhoids from labor, and they were healing well. When I think they’re resolved, I pass a MASSIVE bowel movement and they’re back. This has happened twice now. The poops are huge, like very wide. They’re not hard, I don’t feel constipated. I don’t delay pooping. I drink lots of water. I have a fair diet. I only have trouble defecating these because I’m so hesitant and scared of the pain from the hemorrhoids.

Why am I having such large/wide poops? I have never had poop issues. When the hemorrhoids were at their worst, I was taking Metamucil and a stool softener every day (Colace). The stool softener didn’t really work, and I can’t take stimulant type softeners because I’m breast feeding.

Am I supposed to be regularly taking the Metamucil? This is ridiculous. Why are my poops so big!?

OCD guy here, and with a current colonoscopy coming up i dont want to wipe my ass raw. So how do you use the showerhead. Do you squat down and point it up?

In the US if that helps regarding what this could possibly be. Southeastern United States. I have an OB appt on Friday. I have them every week since this is my last trimester. I’m a first time mom. And can be a bit of a hypochondriac, if I’m not careful. Which has led to this post hoping someone can give me any kind of advice or insight.

I’ve been having tiny bowel movements for the last 2 hours. I will get bad cramps, feel very nauseous, and poop just a little. And then feel normal for 15 minutes and then it starts all over again. It’s really stressing me out. Also, should I fish this thing out of the toilet and take it to the ER?

After I receive some feedback I’ll share what my initial thoughts were. Anywho, thank you to anyone who takes the time to look at my disgusting picture and offer me advice. As a female it was really hard to commit to uploading a pic of my stool to the interwebs.

Thanks again though for any help

It looks like a long strip of bacon

What is this thing? It looked like tissue that comes out during periods, but I didn't have a period that day and it came out of my ass. Didn't hurt, just came out like this.

I already had a "shitting blood" incident 2 years ago. That was blood and mucus, and it hurt like hell before it came out. Doctor said it was (food) allergy related and hasn't happened since. Until now.

Have been having these stools since taking diarrhea relief, was just wondering is this classed as blood or anything? Have tried doctors they said all is okay but still don’t feel right, any advice would be greatly appreciated

I have pelvic floor dysfunction, incomplete bowel evacuation, and rectal hypersensitivity. I have to often rely on water enemas and my fingers to help out stuck or incomplete stool. I have been dealing with this issue for so many years, that I forget what is normal and what is not and I don't fully understand how "pooping" works. Let me explain LOL.

After I have a bowel movement, I always have the sense of incomplete evacuation. If I stick my finger into my rectum there is stool stuck about 1 finger up. It feels like there's a ring like muscle/hole and then the stool is above that. Again...about 1 index finger up. Is this the puborectalis muscle?

Other times, I feel backed up pressure/sensation that I need to poop, high up in my rectum (like tailbone level). If I feel with my finger, I won't feel stool, but will feel an area that feels like a bend or valve or something. If I wiggle my finger in that spot, stool will begin to emerge from it. Is that a bend in the rectum (above puborectalis)? Is that keeping my stool from coming down?

Also, sometimes I put my finger in and it feels tight and constricted. Other times, it will open wide like a balloon filling with air. Why is that?

Is it normal for stool to accumulate about a finger length up and then signal an urge when it's more full? Am I just feeling it too quickly due to the pfd and extreme hypersensitivity?

I have had so many issues for 3 years and the incomplete evacuation, constant sensation that I need to poop, and have stool stuck in my rectum is destroying me. I have tried PT, botox, valium suppositories, fiber, wands, and dialators nothing helps. Every bm is super soft and pasty,fragmented finger sized pieces, and even pieces as tiny as my pinky. I need help.

For the last month I’ve been having lower middle stomach cramps like the urge to poop type discomfort. And I would have diarrhea or broken stool. Sometimes sludge looking stool. They’re always different colors brown red, brown, yellowish brown. I’ve probably had 2 solid normal looking stools for the last month and that was after a night of drinking. I’m over here worried about Pancreatic cancer or something nefarious.

I'm 30 yo female perimenopausal and not due on for a couple of days. This morning I woke up to find blood from the rectum similar to my period blood. I'm genuinely confused and not sure if this can be normal. Any one else had anything similar?

Someone help. I'm cold, alone, scared. Jk I'm really excited to poo my brains out but I'm curious, do I go when I have the urge or try and keep it in til I get to the 30 mins? Should have looked this up sooner...the end is near...either of my life or of my constipation lol. Send help.

My anal manometry said I have extreme rectal hypersensitivity. Does the rectum slowly fill with stool until there's a big enough amount for it to trigger an urge to go? I can feel the sensation of stool in my rectum with a slight urge to go, but cannot evacuate it. If I feel inside my rectum, I can feel stool one finger length up (above a ring like area). If I remove it, it's usually no bigger than my thumb. Am I just feeling the sensation too early? I do suffer from pfd/dyssynergia/incomplete evacuation as well; however, this happens every afternoon after I have already gone several times in the morning and completely cleaned out with a small water enema.

The last 6-8 weeks have been wild. Been training for a marathon and drove 13 hours each way on vacation - trained hard - came back home then spent all of September traveling to UK, across country (in 2.5 weeks mind you) then home to finish training prep.

In the middle of all of that I started having some anxiety about pooping!

*I started down the awful rabbit hole of googling colon C symptoms and have been a mess for a few weeks

I still go every morning without fail. And right when I wake up. That hasn’t changed.

I did notice some looser stool days, never pure water but def some days almost. Those almost all centered around travel or a day where I fasted for 24+ hours.

2 weeks ago went to ER for chest pain (also probably anxiety) and had diarrhea for a few days after.

I had 3-4 normal days of light brown smooth poop then after marathon I had bubble guts.

I also went to a GI 4 days before race and that caused more anxiety and stress.

Yesterday (day after) was also a bit more loose

Today I had my first nice normal log with some other pieces.

I’ve been so anxious that I’m sure that has affected my digestion and stomach

Is this a normal thing? I guess I’ve just never experienced this.

Hey all,

Having issues the last week. Mostly really stinky gas, and cramping with looser poops. Eventually upgraded to poops that were more fluffy? But now they tend to be stringy. Was going to the toilet to poop or with an urge to poop 5-8 times a day.

Just saw this (with a lamp light).. anything I should be concerned about? I saw a walk in doctor and nothing looked off on my normal CBC. Waiting on liver labs, but they never did a CT Scan or anything beyond that. I've seen a few red spots like this on and off, and my butt burns. But haven't actually pooped blood, or anything. Can't recall eating any tomato or anything like that either.

Lately my stomach has been cramping really badly, and I thought it was just my period coming. I have been slightly constipated but otherwise okay. This just came out of me? What is this?? It also smells really badly. I'm not sure if I should keep it just in case.

They are jelly lollie like and are hard! I’ve never had anything like this before. Is it a parasite or a kidney stone? I’ve had really bad diarrhoea the last two days and have been in excruciating pain when I go to the bathroom I also have browny/bloody mucus in my stool. I haven’t been well and have just come off antibiotics a couple of days ago but this is a bit crazy.

I started with chills, low grade fever, extreme nausea, dry heaving, and had about seven normal bowel movements that night. My doctor said it might be a stomach bug based on my symptoms. A week after my symptoms subsided, I had diarrhea twice. Since taking Zofran, I haven't been able to have a bowel movement until today (one week later) and had this strange-looking stool. I sometimes get mucus when I'm constipated. I wonder if it's because my system is all messed up trying to return to normal from whatever this bug was. I'm taking a stool sample to my doctor tomorrow.

Is there some dietary advice for having clean stools that aren't clay like messy, that can be wiped easily? I used to have stools that only left a little mess and I could clean with a few toilet paper swipes. Now it seems It's more messy on my cheeks and I have to keep wiping. My stool composition must have changed due to meds or illness ( I have scleroderma and polymyositis). Any dietary advice to have " cleaner" stools? Thank you

I am a first responder and spend most of my time in and out of a vehicle. Had a poop that was very long, very thin, and had streaks of dark brown. I was going to add a photo, but it won't let me. Should I be worried? I have anal fissures from time to time and constipation. I assume it's mostly from sitting so much. I'm a very active and in-shape 31M.

Hy I’m studiing medicine an I’m gettin more and more hipochondriach

So here is the thing I have poops what is like flat the two side . It is not pencil thin not thin at all but not round 2 side almost every time flat (sometimes round if it is enough hard). I dont have blood and nothing sometimes i have diarrhea but not to often. I went to the proctologist and he said i have 2 haemmoroids one is trombotic and send me home

But at univeristy i’m studiing colorectal cancer and now panicing What if I have colorectal cancer can anybody help me about with this thank you guys!

It’s pretty flat with small cracks in the surface. It has a darker brown spot with darker brown tiny holes it looks like, it’s the first time this has happened should I be concerned?

Sometimes I have a bit of incomplete evacuation where 90% of the poop comes out but there's a small kinda mushy bit that remains.

Metamucil made it so that it all came out at once and nothing is left behind but it would randomly give me diarrhoea sometimes usually in the middle of the night which affected my life badly as it ruined my sleep before work. I even titrated down the lowest amounts but with no improvement.

As amazing as metamucil was, I didn't like the trade-off.

When I wiped wasn’t black but this is what came out .. any advice is definitely wanted
