Today when I took a crap, it's still getting slightly better, but it's still really ribbony. The crap it's self was a normal color for crap. There isn't any blood coming out.I've also been farting more, and it smells worse normal. Could stress or exersicing less than noral cause weird crap like this?

Do you often get the sensation that you still have to go to the toilet after you had finished a bowel movement?
Are you experiencing sense of fullness?
Do you find yourself extremely tired?

Have you changed your diet in a mean time?
Do you still have excessive gas and ribbon stool?


Most foods that contain carbohydrates can cause excessive gas in your intestinal system.
