What does this one of stool mean? *Graphic image*

[Worried224]

Hi all I am new here. To start I already have an appointment with my GP however i sometimes get these stools and not sure what’s the cause of this. Wondering if anyone as something similar to this and what it turned out to be for you. So sorry for the graphic image just hoping to get some peace of mind while I wait for my appointment with my GP. I am pretty worried that the cause is something bigger. My only symptoms are on off loose stools and sometimes only going a small amount. If anyone could give some feedback it’s appreciated.

I'm sorry, I really don't get this! It's an IBS site, for god's sake, what's a little poo between friends.

I absolutely agree with you Maureen; this is a ludicrous restriction!

Our staff and other people on the forum should not have to see the Poo Pictures, none of us are medical professionals and should not have to open the many pictures that get posted.

Thanks for your understanding.

I have IBS-D and usually have very soft stools with bits of food just basically floating around in the bowl after I get done, usually have to flush twice :/ when it started I would just have liquid shits for weeks, now that I’ve been on Viberzi for about a year, they have hardened up a little, sometimes regular poo if I eat something basic like meat and potatoes.
