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.
