Just wondered if anyone else has this?

Every stool seems to have these little white/yellow spots/stones.. any idea what it is or what could cause it?

Is it possibly food you have eaten ? Or possibly small kidney / gall stones ?

No been eating purely weetabix anything high fibre as been very constipated.

Not an expert but maybe the weetabix is causing your constipation ?

High fibre and you have UC ?

Was told to eay high fibred food as iv been constipated and foods ie weetabix should help. I dont often have the d

Yeah i have UC. Fairly new to it all though.

Well form my understanding , foods high in fibre like fruit and veg might help a bit more as they contain fibre which is is water soluble , weetabix doesn't contain the same sort of fibre , the fibre in weetabix doesn't dramatically change when passing through the body.

Again I'm not an expert but if your constipated I honk weetabix might be hindering you !

Yelliw or white spits on stool is likely just mucus or inactive ingredients within your daily medications.

I did pass white spots when taking salfolak

Know Ipoop knows his stuff , maybe he can clarify the fibre point

Are they tiny flecks that look solid?
Posted 9/3/2017 5:09 PM (GMT 0)

They are like solid little speckles.

I thought mucus would be more slimely like??

Yes, I have those, too....and I decided they were just broken down food and nothing to worry about. Sometimes we get so observant....the observation gets a little bit out of hand.....ok mine does!

I am not worried about them anymore and I also have seen them within a many weeks period of zero symptoms. In and of themselves they seem benign.

Im awful at being too observant.. then the thought of what it is becomes obsessive to me 🙈..

Think i need to chill out a little. Just new to all this still i guess 😁

Ha ! I am, too.....I even went through a phase of examining stool with a magnifying glass. My partner hates this ...wonder why? tongue

Seriously though, I didn't accept the theory that I even had UC until recently. And now that I understand that YES, I do have it....I've relaxed. Interestingly.....with the relaxation (and many changes ---most in my sig line) a reduction and halt of UC symptoms has come, too.

Stress is one of the enemies......too much observing can breed said stress.......I put the magnifying glass away and have no idea where it is now even.

Over analyzing for sure haha, we all do. Try not to worry so much!

If it's real, real small and powdery/grainy then it's likely inert medication ingredients (I've seen it before). Mucus can be small and bead-like at times, doesn't have to be long and stringy when embedded in stool.

OMGosh.....I bet it IS grainy medication leftovers !

I handed in a stool sample which theyve found 'abnormalities' in.. and booked me in for a CT scan tomorrow. Worried to say the least!
Posted 9/5/2017 10:18 AM (GMT 0)
Oh wow, well keep us posted, Dan.....do you keep a food journal at all?
Posted 9/6/2017 6:49 PM (GMT 0)
No i dont keep a food journal prehaps i should!

Had my CT today was very shakey..

Now the question is would is show cancer/inflammation etc?

And how long realistically would it take to hear the results??

Hey Dan , how quickly did they find the abnormalities in the stool ?

Sounds like whatever it is you caught it in really good time !

Hope your ok !
Posted 9/6/2017 7:46 PM (GMT 0)
Also are you in the U.K. Or elsewhere ?
Posted 9/6/2017 7:52 PM (GMT 0)
From the UK

"And how long realistically would it take to hear the results?? "

Results here in the USA can be within 2-3 days. Might be a week in some international locations from what I've heard. I'd call and inquire every 3 or so days and see.
Posted 9/7/2017 5:54 AM (GMT 0)
With a bit of luck you will hear something today / tomorrow at the latest !

I imagine it's something ofnnorhing but fingers crossed
Posted 9/7/2017 5:24 PM (GMT 0)
Dan....get a copy of the stool testing results and the scan results Let us know the outcome.
