My Poop

tell me, please, if this sounds familiar

it's a healthy 'feeling' poop, comes out okay. i eat a lot of fibre, so i don't have problems going.

often there is a 'film' of poop... like thin excess that floats on the top. the whole poop doesn't float. just this thin, poopy film.

does ANYONE know what i'm talking about?

A healthy intestine will produce a moderate amount of mucus to help the poop glide along. :) maybe that's what you're seeing?

I think it's probably the mucus too.

Yes, I think so. Especially since you don't have trouble going, and it doesn't float, sounds like a healthy, normal poop to me. Congratulations! :D:D:D

Yay, way to go for easy sinking poop! Mine only sinks every now and then and I practically have a party!

Isn't that so funny? :P This may be one of the few boards on the Internet where people celebrate their poop!

Okay...I just have to ask...I have heard lots of examples of weird poop, but what would "normal" poop look like? My mom and I have this ongoing discussion about where or not our poop should float...I say 'no' and she says 'yes'.

There's a pamplet at the health food store that always cracks me up, but it talks about colon health and healthy poops and it says that a healthy poop should float for a few seconds then gently sink! One of my friends and I laughed in hysterics one day reading this pamplet... But there ya go, that describes a healthy poop! :P:D

I might ask your doctor about the film because mine seemed extremely interested to know whether or not I had a slimy film on my poo...of course at this point I didn't know the medical problem i was getting in to and hadn't really paid much attention,now I turn and take a look before I flush!! :lol:

      Curious question

      So I've been dealing with chasing the name celiac because of my body actively dealing with health issues related to celiac though not eating. Diagnosed in 1994 before foods eliminated from diet. After 25 years with former pcp I googled celiac specialist and she wasn't because of what ive been through. I wanted my results to be sent to my pcp but nothing was...

      Celiac Disease and Longevity: Can Treatment and Healing Improve Long-Term Survival?

      Thanks for the prompt reply. Interesting that blood test could be caused by other things. I am sure Dr Fincher will get to the bottom of it. I know he ate nowhere near that amt of gluten before the endoscope. Always interested in any new info abt celiac. U can not trust what is said on fb- That would be a piece of bread a day. He didn't even make that...

      So I've been dealing with chasing the name celiac because of my body actively dealing with health issues related to celiac though not eating. Diagnosed in 1994 before foods eliminated from diet. After 25 years with former pcp I googled celiac specialist and she wasn't because of what ive been through. I wanted my results to be sent to my pcp but nothing was sent.I have email copies.I did one zoom call with np with team member from celiac specialist in Nov 2025 and she asked me why I wanted to know why I wanted the celiac diagnosis so bad, I sad I don't, its my life and I need revalidaion because its affecting me.KB stated well it shows you are.I asked then why am I going through all this.I was labeled unruly. Its been a celiac circus and medical has caused anxiety and depression no fault to my own other than being born with bad genetics. How is it legal for medical professionals to gaslight patients that are with an ailment coming for help to be downplayed? KB put in my records that she personally spent 120min with me and I think the zoom call was discussing celiac 80 min ONE ZOOM call.SHE is responsible for not explaining to my pcp about celiac disease am I right?

      I've noticed with my age and menopause my smell for bread gives me severe migraines and I know this.Its alarming that there are all these fabulous bakeries, sandwich places pizza places popping up in confined areas.Just the other day I suffered a migraine after I got done with my mri when a guy with a brown paper bag walk in front of me and I smelled that fresh dough bread with tuna, I got a migraine when we got home.I hate im that sensitive. Its alarming these places are popping up in airports as well.I just saw on the news that the airport ( can't remember which  one)was going to have a fabulous smelling bakery. Not for sensitive celiacs, this can alter their health during their travel which isn't safe. More awareness really NEEDS to be promoted, so much more than just a food consumption!FYI I did write to Stanislaus to let them know my thoughts on the medical field not knowing much about celiac and how it affects one.I also did message my gi the 3 specialist names that was given on previous post on questions on celiac. I pray its not on deaf door.
