Diarrhea Question?


Lately I've had strange bowel movements in between normal ones..they come out in smaller pieces and are slightly thinner than the normal 'sausage' shape (sorry for the graphic-ness).

Is this considered diarrhea? Because it doesn't seem to come out really fast or watery and is still formed..just smaller pieces and thinner.

Is this diarrhea??

A lot of fiber will do this, making the stools soft but yet formed and smaller in nature. Have you been eating fresh fruit or veggies...that'll do it to ya. To return to norm...crackers and high starchy foods. Hang in there, it's only temporary. But keep hydrated all the same.

Ewwww. Moron

You have Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS). There are medications to treat this illness.

No it isn't diarrhea.

why does it matter if it is or not? and btw...its not

Probably not. You can always try the pink (Pepto) medication to see if it will help. If what you're describing is not accompanied by nausea, stomach pain, feeling dehydrated, or lack of appetite, I wouldn't worry about it.

Take Pepto or change your diet, eliminating high fiber items such as bananas, apples, and corn.

Have you been stressed out at all in the last few days. Stress can cause problems such as this. If it keeps up then pop over and see your doctor. Drink plenty of liquids in the meantime......

YOURE FINE...ITS NOT DIARRHEA. IT DEPENDS ON WHAT YOU EAT THAT DAY TOO. JUST EAT A LOT OF FIBER
