Stomach Pain and Stool has changed (Image)

This past week and a half my bowel movements have changed dramatically. I used to have regular normal stool movements but recently things have changed and I'm quite scared. Alot of the time I'll feel like I have a trump trapped in my bum and I can't get rid of it. I had a wheat intolerance blood test on Wednesday and I'm yet to hear anything back so it won't be that. I have stomach cramps and weird stomach rumblings on the left and right side (where the top of the abdominals are located) and my poo has changed. There's no blood in my poo but I now have 2 different types of poo. There's the small bits of broken up poo and there's the new normal ribbon looking poo. Any help would be appreciated as I'm really scared as to what this could be. image

    hi nicki, uh oh or dear poor you! what do you mean your bowel has changed? Did you catch something like a bug before this? did you eat something dodgy? are you under no end of stress? what age are you and have you ever had this before? get to your doctor's, ask to see someone and write down all that is going on for your doctor to see! good luck, eat bland stuff until you get to the doctors. they should help you. let us know how you get on.

      I'm a 28 year old male who is slightly overweight and doesn't smoke and doesn't drink alcohol. Well I'm going to get lots of fibre down me I've asked my partner to go and pick me up some apples, Fibre bars, Fibre cereal and whole wheat bread. I have occasional stress but nothing serious

      how nick, 1st i want to apologize if I insulted you by putting my foot in it at all! secondly if it does turn out you have IBS then lots of fibre is not always recommended but if it helps until you find out what is wrong then why not? it might make your bowel loose, but it might help!

    Do go easy on the fibre. Start with a small amount and increase each day until you feel OK with it.. You may find you have explosive bowel movements otherwise. Dont be scared...this is probably easily sorted out.

      I've changed my diet to no fat or greasy foods.

      Breakfast

      Whole wheat toast and mackrel.

      Lunch

      Chicken breast

      Cauliflower

      Brocoli

      Carrots

      Sweetcorn

      Meals for work (I work 12 hour shift)

      Bran flakes

      Natural yoghurt

      Fibre snack bar.

      More veg and chicken

      Gallon of squash

      I'm worried its going to be an issue with my colon as on some occasions I can feel a sharp pain in my upper abdominal area but I'm hoping I'm just over thinking it.
