Hi Lola, well its

something I have never notice having a problem with due to fibro. But then again I don't spend a lot of time examine the contents of my motions to be honest!

But everyones bowel movements are different. Just like everything we are all different. Some need a bowel movement 3 times a day some it may be once every 3 days. And depending what you eat. You will see undigested food in your stools all quite normal.

I have this problem and have had 18 months worrying about it until I realised that Fibro affects all muscles. I started to eat more fibre (so I will never be thin again !) and doing pelvic floor exercises - it doesn't cure the symptoms but it does make them better.

Good luck - at least you know you are not alone with this xx

Well IBS and similar are common for people with fibro, but these changes are strange.

If you don't want a coloscopy, which probly won't help either,

looking for various diet things could help, as suggested.

Apart from muscle problems I suspect a dryness problem in my case.

It is so strange that I would definitely get a coloscopy and more done, tho, to be honest. (Done that, it wasn't at all nice and didn't help, but still now I'm on the safe side. In my case 'only' IBS and hyperacidity, but always IBSD, changes rare.)

Not what you're looking for?
