I apologise in advance for the icky content of this thread but I am worried about my poo. I am not a poo troll but have name changed for obvious reasons!!
Since Xmas I have noticed I have been passing rather thin stools.
I have suffered with IBS for many many years (20 plus). My IBS meant I did not open my blwels reguarly at all. 10 days without a bowel movement was not unusual. This was usually followed by cramps, passing of the hard stools and 24 hours in and out the loo with agonising cramps and the stools got looser and looser until I was passing water from my back passage. This has been pretty much wiped out since I saw a specialist and who put me on movicol (4 years ago). I take 1 to 2 sachets daily, sometimes if I begin to feel Full I increase to 3 or 4 sachets - as advised. This has given me my life back as I was near housebound before.
I was wondering if anyone may know the reason why my stools have recently changed shape/size. I have also noticed I poo often. Almost every time I need a wee, I pass a thin little stool.
I am trying to avoid another visit to my GP. So far in the past 6 months he has seen my boobs and carried out an internal. I really am trying to avoid having my bum examined too.
Any ideas of the causes?? Anyone else on movicol have similar?
