    Thanks for the response. I appreciate it. I also read it was inaccurate as well ,but also read a tumor can be blocking the passage and that's why its caused to come out thin,flat. Anxiety sucks.

    Anyone else have these symptoms? Is it time to get a colonoscopy? Or is my anxiety taking over.

    If your flat stools look like this, then definitely time to see the doctor!



    Otherwise, yeah... Your dragon is breathing fire down your neck.

    I had a pretty big polyp close to the exit, my stools where normal shaped still, but i did have a lot of blood. so I don't think you should worry.
