I started having ribbon poo 2 months ago. GP put me on Fybrogel which made matters worse. I had two episodes of dark tarry stools but that’s all. I have no pain or no other symptoms except for the thin stools. I’ve had an endoscopy which showed a small hiatus hernia. Ive had 2 normal FIT tests. An ultra sound of my pelvic area showed nothing at all. I had a CT scan and was told results would take 7-10 days. However Patients Know Best has my results but will not publish them until 10th January 2026. I’m now worried sick that they are withholding posting the results to give my GP time to see me and tell me I have cancer.
