Stool normal?

[GCCA-Survivor Administrator]

Hi Mikes2413,

It's pretty hard to determine what's going on from looking at a picture. I know “normal” for me has changed a lot over the past ten years. A lot of it for me is what I eat and how much I eat. For me I don't think I can describe things as normal or abnormal. It can vary a lot and I guess that's my normal.

I would expect that you posting on this site and asking if this is something to be concerned about tells me this is definitely not "normal" for you. For you, “normal” would be best determined by you. If what you are seeing is far from what you normally see and you haven't eaten anything different or had any other issues going on like a sickness or disease, go get it checked out by a medical professional. A doctor should be able to perform some tests and narrow down what may be causing what you are experiencing. It will also go a long way to giving you Peace of Mind. So go ahead and get it checked out. It can't hurt. And it will put you on a path to not having to worry about it
