Light in Stool TW details

.....

What does this mean? Mostly it's normal coloured but there are light bits amongst it which are unsettling and worrying me at the moment. This has been ongoing for me for about a month now and is accompanied by abdominal pain, generally all over though today localised lower left side.

I think it's IBS and stress as I suffer from both. No bleeding or anything like that just pain and odd colours on it. Get the usual jelly like residue but that is definitely down to IBS. 

Should mention I drink pretty much only sugary drinks so this could be the result of that.

Anyone who's had this please reply as I'm quite worried about it right now.

So I'm thinking cut out the fanta, sprite and cola yes? Should I eat more as well? I'd rather deal with this myself than see the doctor if I can.

  • I think it probably *is* your IBS, I know I've had things like this happen.

    When I was really ill with my IBS I ended up going to see a dietitian and it helped a lot- I wasn't getting enough calories or vitamins in and she helped me to gain weight and have healthier bowel movements while working within the restrictions that my sensory issues and food intolerances imposed. It made a huge difference and eventually I was able to eat more than previously because I wasn't in pain and feeling sick all the time. I would really recommend it, dietitians and nutritionists are often more knowledgeable about things like autism than other health professionals because autistic people are more prone to digestive issues and eating disorders.

    Hi thanks for replying.

    Yes I think you're right, I've since spoken to my GP and she thinks it's my IBS as well. She wants me to alter my diet and see how that goes over the next week and if it doesn't improve we'll investigate it further.

    I'm also on the list for a nutritionist. So hoping this will lead to better things for me.
