ibs or something else??

I have had IBS for a few years with normal symptoms and mostly normal bowel movements. Today something out of the ordinary happened and I made the mistake of googling it. (bad idea!) My stool was a normal brown color (shape, size, exc) but at the end was white. It almost reminded me of when a dog eats and passes a kleenex. Sorry for the gross description! I have looked up white stool and mostly came back with liver related responses. But, the stool was normal brown, just had a white chunk at the end. There was also a bit of mucous that passed. Is this IBS related or do I have something else going on??

IBS sometimes can be treated with chiropractic care. I work for a chiropractor and have patients with IBS who get completely over it with careful adjustments to lumbar region of the spine.

You are right it is probably totally IBS.  If you entire stool was white I would check out my gall bladder.  Try not to worry u will flare up your IBS
