Colon/Bowel stool concerns

Firstly I've got a call back from the GP sometime today to discuss.

Sometimes, for whatever reason (possibly due to pile flare-ups or stress/diet) I get flat, ribbon stools and then it goes, but over the last week they have persisted. I increased the quality of fiber foods which which appears to make them look more normal or normal bulk size but flat on one side or just oval shaped. 

I had a FIT test in April and October last year 6 which was ok. Now I just wanted to share this with someone and speak to the doc about it.

  • Hello Maccauk,

    I hope the call with your GP went ok and that they were able to address some of your concerns. 

    When you’re worried that you may have cancer, it can be natural to think the worst sometimes, but this can end up increasing anxiety rather than making you feel better. And the only person that can diagnose you is your doctor.  

    I hope this is helpful,
