Flat/ribbon stool

Hi,

have here somebody flat or ribbon like stool? I have it nearly half year or maybe more. It is ok in lenght and width but only in thickness is problem, it is about 0.3inch. I have probably any inflammation in sigma, rectum and ileum. I had also pancolitis before few years. It is normal? If I have not diarathea I have flat poo? I taking prednison and pentasa.

Tynemouth,
You could check the Bristol Scale.That explains colour, texture and consistency you can expect when having IBD.I'm not sure that it's anything to worry about as long as you feel ok.
 
Yes I googled and it can be many things. I found that also in proctitis/sigmoitis can be flat poop. But I wanted know that if is here somebody with same problem.
