I am so glad you did not wait and went to be evaluated as detection earlier can provide better treatment and outcomes.

Hello. What did your evaluation from your doctor reveal about this? Did you see them and did they have an answer for you? There are all sorts of bowel movement shapes that are still normal. There is a chart used, believe it or not and here it is https://www.webmd.com/digestive-disorders/poop-chart-bristol-stool-scale
