Im 19 male and for about 2 weeks I have had runny lumpy poo
There is no blood
Im not in any pain
My stomach area seems to make more bubbling noises, like there too much air there.
I get an urge to go, but this only happens now and again
the poo is sloppy, but seems to be hold together just but is very soft.
There is no crohns disease in my family
There is no cancer in my family
I have been eating more healthier and eating more fiber stuff like, banana, apple, grapes, peas etc
I have been having a yakult daily
I have been drinking more water
I feel fine in myself
I feel in the best shape ive been in for years
What could this be?
Im abit nervous of what it could be really, and just what some advice/help what it could be,
What can I do to try and make my poo harden up?
I WILL GO TO THE DOCTORS.

Hi Venny,
It can be difficult to know what is the cause of your diarrhea and associated symptoms without you having some tests.
It could be caused by unbalance in your diet, or you may have a bacterial or virus infection., allergies, besides being something like IBS or IBD.
Differential tests run by your doctor can help to establish the cause and find a solution.
You don't mention if you had a fever or any weight loss.
Your doctor will establish the parameters and treat you as needed depending on diagnosis.
Hugs and best wishes

Hello! Just a thought... but you say you have increased your fibre intake?
I have found that makes my diarrhoea worse.. just a thought maybe you could cut that down slightly?
When i was on the low residue diet,it worked wonders! (this should only be temporary)
And im not telling u to go on the low res diet, just eat less fibre rich foods and see if it makes a difference

let us know how you get on at the doctors :)

Before, I didnt really eat much fruit, mainly in the summer when we'd have strawberrys, but other than that, I might have 1 or 2 pieces like an apple or banana a year. Veg, Id normally have some sort of veg everyday.

Ill tell the Doctor about changing in eating and stuff like that when I go, hopefully, Ill get an app asap.

Other than what Ive said, i feel the best Ive felt for sometime, been aving good night sleeps as well :)

Hi there, keep us updated on what the doc says. It could be the fact even though it's not lots you have been eating more fibrous foods.....something a lot of us here have to avoid in spades. I hope all goes well and can be quickly sorted for you :)

Thanks, will do, I had the same problem last June/July time I think, Had it for four weeks, and it cleared up on its own, went to drs after 2 weeks n he said, he thought it was a stomach infection and would clear up or improve, so went ack a week later and I said that I had improved so. If it is im on the better side of the hill all being well.

THANKS GUYS, YOUVE PUT MY MIND AT EASE, YOUVE ALL BEEN VERY KIND, THANK YOU:rosette2: WISH YOU ALL HEALTH FOR THE FUTURE

Went toilet today, and same again, but felt like I had too much wind, but cant do anything about it, ieburp or trump, went toilet again, still the same but after, It felt that it went into a sausage shape, looked down and it was soft, but then i thought, if it was soft, it would just give up on impact so, I might be on the mend, plus I felt better after I went, hope every one else is ok
PEACE

Not to bad thank you :) totally ready for the weekend though. Supposed to get more snow here tonight :( If you are now back on a less fibrous diet it may still take a few days for tummy to fully settle down... hope things get even better over the weekend for you.

Hi
If you are really worried have the doc check you out, but i seriously doubt you have anything sinister going on. Sounds like a bit of a dicky tum, which everyone has now and again. Regarding fibre - to firm things up eat soluble fibres like porridge, bananas etc and avoid non soluble eg citrus fruits and green leafy veg. Google 'fibre' for more comprehensive list. And stop worrying!

Did some stretching and I think ive pulled some around my stomach area.. .. thats my luck lol. Ate more normal yesterday as well :) and today ate normally. Well got to go and work now, hope everyones cool

Venny0492

Not that bad, ate everything my family have been having and no pain, just soft lumps. BUT I have pulled something on my right hand side around my lower rib cage area, I felt it go :/ and to top it off Ive hurt my back as well :/ lol at least ive got a week off
 
V

Venny0492

went once yesterday, not together, but almost, no pain or discomfort, thought great, today woke up fine. Went once, abit softer. Feels like I have got alot of gas. Started eating everything te family as been eating. see how I am tomorrow, Hope everyone else is cool.
 
V

Venny0492

Last night, spent around 30mins on toilet, :/ think ive pulled something. Was in a little bit of discomfort but after I finished at the toilet I was ok around 10mins after. Todat, small soft, went again and longer soft. So Ive decided to go to the Doctors, my app is for next Tuesday. Changed my diet to high fiber, changed it to brat type diet, eating easily digested stuff and back to normal and not much change, in fact on Sunday, I had breakfast, bacon sausage egg, toast and hashbrowns, chicken roast and for supper I had a sandwich. Monday morning, I felt normal.
How is everyone doing?

Feeling very tired today :( the steroids seem to be affecting my sleep at the moment (this can be a side effect with these) it is taking ages to fall asleep and then I am waking up in the night and then again I struggle to get back to sleep. Therefore I felt a bit grouchy at work today :voodoo:

Anyhoo it will interesting to hear what your doc has to say, let us know how the appt goes.
 
V

Venny0492

So, soft 2inches today, still get sudden urge to go, but no other pain, over the weekend, softlumps and abit of pain, like a sting which lasted about 5 mins but thats it, no blood for sometime now, Im guessing it was from going alot more.

Still very tired, going down on the steroid dose again today so hopefully the lower it goes the less they will affect my sleep. Good to hear the doc didn't feel anything, perhaps this is all just down to certain food intolerances.....

Might be, or just one of those things, I love breakfast meals, like bacon egg etc so Im cutting down on them to 2 days, probs weekend, and have a piece of fruit everyday, which I have been doing for 3 weeks now. He asked me if I felt stressed or cant sleep very well. I told him I felt fine, in myself, and other week I had the best night sleep ive had for some time. This afternoon, im going up town to post some stuff and pay my parents back for some festival tickets. Im also hoeping to call in a fast food place, to ask about deliverying leaflets for them in the local area. Which means some excersize as well lol

ive noticed ive lost 4-5lbs in 4 weeks. But over the 4 weeks, I changed my diet and for a couple of days didnt eat much at all and started eating healthier plus started walking about for between 30-45mins.

Been today, and small soft lumps, but over the past few days, I havent felt much bubbling in my stomach. Last year when I had the same thing, and my stomach was bubbling before and then 3 weeks I went back to normal. I feel fine in myself though, eating normally and healthier which cant hurt lol

How are you doing?

Ive put some shelves up today, and I think I might've pulled something in my back again, it feels abit achey but nothing that bad.

No, I havent. think ive said before, that i love breakfast so ive cut that down to just cereals or toast or something like that. and then a sandwich at dinner. then normal meal for dinner. Probs about 3ish Ill have a some fruit. I had an apple today, it was horrible. Thinkit was a different brand to which we normally have.

Im ready for bed as well, had a rubbish nights sleep last night. I couldn't get to sleep, to hot or not comfy etc and then woke up at 4.30 n then kept doozing off every now and then.

Is a lose of weight normal? Doctor never asked about that and didnt notice it till today anyway.

Hope you feel better soon.
