    Stools can come in all shapes and sizes and diet and stress can cause them. Your doctor will need to examine you and run tests to rule out other causes before considering IBS.

    hello

    mine looks exactly the same. i have stopped eating gluten and dairy products because of IBS. My stool has become better. In the past it was more fluid. Dont bother yourself because it looks normal to me. But please tell me what your GI did tell you.
