is this kind of poo normal for us? (pic in comments) - (can't tell if i'm still adjusting from stopping taking prednisolone or if this is my new normal now?) i've been off steroids for 1 week today and things went rocky for the first couple of days. On the second day of stopping, I had explosive diarrhea with a foul smell, after that it sort of settled back down to what it looks like in the pic. It looks solid/formed but it comes out of me looking very soft and in very small bits, some bits really tiny - this conerns me. It's sort of stayed like this for the past 4 days, still only going once or twice a day.

    I don't know if it's normal but it looks like mine on a good day. I have IBS and take a light dose of mesalazine (500 mg) to manage it. My doctor is not convinced that I have UC.
