Well, happy 4th, everyone! Hopefully everyone gets to enjoy the day without sprinting to the bathroom 😊

My question is about my poop. The last week or so, most of my BMs have been solid pieces. However, when I look, it looks like they’re fluffy, ragged pieces attached to it. The poop comes out super easily, and I wouldn’t say I eat a ton of fiber.

Is this anything to be worried about?

also, does anyone else get slightly nauseous after pooping sometimes? I’ve noticed I do sometimes lol!

Food initially could change consistency...depends on what things have been like till now.

How many times a day?

Hey quincy! Happy 4th! I usually only go once, maybe twice a day on rare occasions. Most of the time, I just have a lot of gas in me! I think it could be from my dosage of Asacol HD, but I’m not 100% sure

Those are type 6 on the bristol stool chart. One step above diarrhea. We can all have stools that vary in consistency, normal. Often it's due to what we ate, stress, etc. One time episodes, no worries.

If this is a trend over 4-5 days then it could be the beginning signs of a flare. Especially if urgency or total bms a day increase in tandem, and/or blood reappears.

iPoop, what if it’s a normal BM that looks like a 4, but has ragged fluffy parts around it? The last few days I’ve been a 6 on the chart, but that’s been due to poor diet, stress, etc. I’ve been closely monitoring my other symptoms.

I do not have any blood or urgency except right when I get up in the morning which is fairly normal. I’m going to call the doctor on Monday, and request that I go on enemas every other night.

Sounds like a reasonable precaution to restart endnas for a few weeks and see if it improves things.

Could be a bristol 5? Sometimes a sibgle bm can start as one numver and chamgd to another lol.

More recently, i poop right when I get up, and it all comes out really easily. I’d probably say it’s a 6, but last night I had a normal 4. So, obviously, I’m getting quite a bit of mixed signals. Averaging 1-2 BM a day.
