(I'm new here, so I hope you don't mind me joining the conversation...)

All I gotta say is that you're all friggin awesome! (Funny, too)

I think most people would read a page like this and think you're all crazy... I know some people who don't even look after going. I thought I was a bit strange, since I have a flashlight in the bathroom drawer just to make sure I get a good look at it. (I've never told anyone else that, either)

I've been trying to figure things out with my doctor, and all I can think about is "If only I could get someone to look at this crap... 'cause that is NOT NORMAL!" But I think my doc would be rather grossed out if I were to bring in pictures. So I just keep going, and wondering why I keep flushing away all the evidence...

Looking at that Bristol scale, I've had more than 1 type in the same sitting. Complete with mucous, too. But then again, there's always mucous. So I don't know what that's all about...

Has anyone ever shown a pic to someone? I'd imagine to the trained eye, that'd be quite helpful in identifying things, but there just doesn't seem to be anyone to show 'em to.

I don't think you need pictures, I've gotten a good idea of what you're seeing just from your post! :lol:

Weclome to the conversation ... you are supposed to jump right in!

Oh, and Lister, congrats on being normal! :P

Welcome! Yup, things get kinda crazy here sometimes...

But, just to let you know, I too examined my poop with a flashlight, so I would know EXACTLY what to tell my GI. Photographs were too gross, so I had to give him a nice, verbal picture.

It was kind of exciting to see normal poop come back, like seeing a long-lost friend..... :rolleyes:

My husband tells me those exact words all the time ... "You are one sick individual!" And, he's always complained about my family's fascination with poop. Funny that no one else considers they may have a gluten problem with all this bm talk!

You think we are sick, there is a website my brother-in-law told us about called ratemypoo ... it's really sick. Don't see the purpose to it at all!

I'm in mourning for my normal stools... :P:(:)

I was at the point early this year that I was mostly feeling good, and my stools were of the 3 and 4 variety... and now I'm back to a wide variety again, if you know what I mean... Blaah. If i get back to normal, I'm definitely going to celebrate! :D

I have taken pics of Curran's poops in the past and have yet to actually show the pics to anyone. When I felt that 2 months of diarrhea blowouts of 10 to 15 times a day was likely NOT toddlers tummy I decided to get my point across the old fashioned way as describing it to the ped was obviously not working. So I scraped a tablespoon of it out of the diaper (he was 2 years old then) and put it in a plastic bag. Then another plastic bag and another and then into the diaper bag. You could smell me coming and the ped was appalled by it and the smell. Got me the start of testing back then and a our first referral to a GI (unfortunately he was an idiot). The point is that a picture may be worth a thousand words but one tablespoon of the stuff made everyone in the office gag and wish they could open the windows! :lol: Trust me, I have done this a few times now and I always seem to get processed a bit quicker and also it drives home that I am NOT exaggerating about it. ;)

How about this name for the poop pictures... Its a crap shoot?

      If you don't like prunes, Figs are rich in fiber, with 3-5 dried figs providing about 5 grams.

      Fiber Supplement

      Thanks, I do include chia seeds and ground flax seed in my diet to help as well but on days that I'm not close to my target of 30 grams of fiber, I would add the Benefiber. My IBS-C was much better with both natural foods and the supplement so I will continue to search for another natural supplement that is not based on wheat to have when needed. Thanks

      So, since total iga 646, was high ,  was tTg iga even tested? It is not uncommon to test negative for antibodies and even biopsies to still have Celiac Disease.  Many on this forum have gone 10 years testing negative and surviving multiple misdiagnoses before finally being diagnosed as celiac. If trial GFD after all the negative tests are concluded brings improvement, will you continue to eat gluten and suffering since the doctor says you are not sick? Your list of symptoms, mostly unrelated to each other, certainly fits the pattern of celiac disease.  Do you really have nine different diseases, all with cause unknown?

      Welcome @Trish G to the forum. Hard or lumpy stools and infrequent bowel movements.  My brother likes Phillips Stool Softener, Ducolate Sodium.   Just a question. Was the benefiber helping? Benefiber is only 3 grams per dose so lots of other foods can supply that.  Nutrition label DV for fiber is 28 g. 5 prunes, dehydrated plums, has 3 grams of fiber and additionally 290 grams of potassium. Potassium is good for IBS-C because it prommotes muscle contractions in the intestines.  Low potassium contributes to constipation and bloating.  Most of us don't eat the RDA for potassium (2600 women, 3400 men) and the DV (Daily Value used on nutrition labels) is 4700 mg a day for men, women and children. When I complained of constipation due to my BP meds my doctor recommened prune juice without hesitation,  When I bother to eat Prunes or plums it works.   I think the fruit is better for you than the juice for addition nutrients.
