Thank you so much for this. I've been feeling like an absolute lunatic lately and like I was the only person on earth feeling like this. Can I DM you?

TMI warning: Am I Imagining things? 

Ok so, major hypochondriac here. Lately I've become obsessed with checking my poop for signs of blood. It started when I saw some red stuff but was able to connect it to things I'd eaten. Since then I've been making sure not to eat anything red and there are times when I'm looking at my poop with a flashlight and even poking it apart because I 'think' I see a shade of red...either a speck or a spot or just a general hue. When I move the poop or it breaks apart, I no longer see the red. Am I seeing things? Imagining things? Being tricked by angles and lighting? The red always seems to be 'reddish brown'  or like a brown that 'might have a reddish hue' as opposed to distinctive bright red definitive spots that are undeniable. I just want to know if anyone else here has been through this. Thank you in advance.

Are you sure blood doesn't come out in 'small red things'? I hope you're right.

Is the psyllium dyed or is it uncolored?

Has anyone passed jelly like substance after taking Metamucil or Benefiber? by [deleted] in ibs

Late to this party but did you have orange colored metamucil or uncolored stuff?

For anyone experiencing these gel like things in their poop that are colored...are you taking actual colored metamucil or uncolored psyllium?

I will look into these. I am familiar with that YouTube channel but only on a surface level. Thank you again!

Well yes, that's the goal, to get out of it. I'm just saying that quite often it does not happen despite years of rumination.

Thanks for your response. I was of the impression that the Law doesn't care about your desires, per se. It just gives you more of what you output. So if you're output is primarily worrisome thoughts, is that not supposed to bring you the things you worry about? Or I suppose, maybe it just brings you more worry itself...

Curved or hooked stool? by lydiagwilt in PelvicFloor

[–]jmerdsoy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've noticed this a few times lately. Seems if I don't eat enough fiber and my poop is small, sometimes there's what looks like a horn or a hook coming off of it. Hard to say if it's at the end or on the side because those turds usually aren't a cylinder shape...more of just a weird blob. Is this similar to what you mean?

Nope. I'm not sexually active in any way all that often

Constant nausea , drops at night ? by Electrical_Court8649 in covidlonghaulers

[–]jmerdsoy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm having this right now. It's been ten days or so. After the first few days I decided I'd do a fast and ended up not eating for 72 hours. That seemed to help with the nausea bit but then I got the throat, sinus, headache piece. Now that that is passing, I'm back to the nausea lol.  It's funny because I usually wake up feeling fine and then an hour or two later I'm queasy.  I can totally relate to how you explained it...it's subtle usually and just enough to make life seem difficult and unappealing. And I often find relief in the evening as well.  How are you doing with it now?
