Normally I am extremely regular with my bowel movements and going to the bathroom. Sometimes I get an upset stomach and don't have completely solid feces, but I'm still going three or more times a day. Well this past weekend (August 9-10) I had to use the restroom a lot. There are some days where I am unable to go and I don't want to strain and force myself due to past problems there. But, I was getting worried because I wasn't going to the bathroom, well yesterday I was able to go twice but it wasn't a lot. I also had some help from coffee which always makes me go.

Well, I went today and it wasn't much, but when I went to wipe myself there wasn't anything on the toilet paper, therefore I wiped again and there was some feces on the paper, but there was also something that I had never seen before. It looked like cold fat, opaque white in color and just looked strange to me. I don't know how to describe it other than looking like fat on a piece of beef. I don't have insurance, so going to the doctor for every problem isn't an option, so I was wondering if this was something that I needed to go to the doctor for or if there is something that I can do at home.

I'm not really having any pain in my stomach or bowels, but it's uncomfortable for me. Maybe because I know that I have to or that I should be defecating, but nothing is coming out. I also head to the bathroom feeling like I have to go, but all it's been is peeing and having a little gas.

I was on birth control (trivora), but it's been two months or so since I stopped taking it and I am also on phentermine, but it hasn't caused me any problems. I've been on it since April.
