Thin stool

Posted , 3 users are following.

Hello......I don’t know If i am even in the right place to ask here.For the past few months I have had in half of times thinner stool. Not in one piece, but a few smaller/thinner pieces. Sometimes my abdomen has been hurting but much less these days. I wanted to ask if this can be related to the fact that my I have been facing with lower pain back for the past few months and some stress on top of that. I usually go to the toilet everday sometimes once in a two days. I have no blood in stool no sputum. I have normal taste. My weight did not change. I am not feeling tired or sleepy. Sometimes my limbs are just a bit tired but that could probably be linked to something else. Should I go see doctor or what could this be? The colour is normal aswell. I have visited doctor with the abdomen pain and they even made x-ray of my entire belly and found nothing. Should I be concerned? Sorry if this a wrong group.

    Hey there 😃

    So you said this change started a few months ago? So prior to that, your stools were consistently larger ans not as thin?

      M y next question would be, how thin are we actually talking about? As thin as a pencil? Thinner?

      Let me know 😃

      As thin as snickers bar or something like that.

      So that size is not worrisome in the slightest. I wouldn't give it any more thought, honestly 😃

    This is nothing to worry about. stool can change shape based on what you eat, stress, frequency of bathroom trips, haemmarroids, straining. lots of things.
