Last time I posted on this site it was concerning my constant headache for about three months. That has now mostly disappeared, no peace as bowel issues now. I've had various bowels issues on and off for years but this is a new one, if it is an issue.
Last year I had trouble with the water in the bowel always being cloudy so I couldn't see the stool. This went on for a few months and the dr had me do a stool test which came back normal. That resolved and I was better for a while then I kept getting floating stools which sent me into a real panic, as there are terrible things written about them on Dr. Google. I eventually saw the dr and she did a blood test which came back normal, also a stool test for blood which came back clear. However another stool test showed I had borderline calprotectin.I'd not heard of it and looked it up, quite worrying although the dr said it was nothing to worry about but I now have to do another one to see if the levels have changed. I wasn't too worried as my bowels had been normal for about three months.
The last two or three weeks they have gone weird. They look normal but are now curvy, one day shaped like a letter C. I looked that up and it said it was good news a healthy sign, but I don't know whether to believe that. The thing most worrying me is a lot of days the stool is standing up on end in the toilet bowl. I've never had that before. I can't find anything out. It's not floating, well not like before, one end is at the bottom of the toilet but its standing up and keeps happening. I've never seen this before or heard of it. I am getting panicky and worried, which is making me feel nauseous and no appetite. As I am a low weight that is worrying. I am afraid it might be something to do the calprotectin levels, and am afraid of the results of the stool test.
I was wondering if anyone has had this or knows anything about it, the standing on end I mean.
I would appreciate any thoughts, I know no one is medical on here, but often someone has had something similar to what we are going through.
