    like I said a couple of hours ago stool colour other than extreme white or tarry black usually reflects what you eat, medicines.  Like Pippa says there are no red flags but its natural to worry, but listen to your doctor - they may do all the tests and never give you a definitive diagnosis.  That's what is so worrying not knowing -  but if they exclude everything like cancer, gall bladder etc then you are basically OK  they will tell you its IBS and you just have to live with it and take measures to deal with the symptoms.  The more you worry the worse the symptoms will be so try not to worry - seek help with that if needs be
