Hi cheetahhhhh,

Thanks for posting with us. Is this something that has been going on for awhile? If it's something you are consistently having to deal with, it wouldn't hurt to have it checked out. You are correct as it could be a symptom of a lot of different things. Getting it checked out will give you some peace of mind and hopefully end having to speculate about what's going on.

I must also say I'm proud of you for recognizing symptoms and not ignoring them. Another thing to think about is if there is any family history of health issues going on. It's always beneficial to look around at your parents, siblings, aunts, uncles and cousins, etc. I always ask that as it turned out I had a hereditary issue going on that affected my father, one of my aunts and two cousins.

We do wish you well in getting on a path to being well. Please let us know what you find out.

Thank you,

Tom

Can you look at my poo and see if it looks healthy?

I gotta be honest, it's tough to diagnose something from a poo pic. You would have more insight into your normal than anyone else. Diet also plays a major role. If this is something completely odd, have it checked out. No harm in getting that done. It will give you some peace of mind.👍❤️
