Fiber strings in stool

A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question 💭

Hi guys, this is a personal question but have you ever found fiber strings in your bowel movement? (Something that looks like thin strings that causes you to struggle to get everything out. But its the same colour)

Has anyone else experienced this… read more

Hi! Wow sounds like me. I had that with mucus and blood and chronic constipation. I went in on Jan11 this year for a colonoscopy and was diagnosed with diverticulitis. I was told to take Benefiber daily and drink more water. It has helped a lot.

Is it more like mucous? I have that a lot because I have really bad IBS. My bowels are so messed up it’s not even funny. I would say if it continues to ask your doc but if you already know you have IBS, if you’re like me- not much surprises you. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Haven't noticed that for a while now as I am taking something for my IBS which my doctor gave me, seems to make me more regular.
