Irritable Bowel Syndrome Treatment

Question by lauren: small, clear, scaly organism in toilet with loose bowel movement – do I have a parasite!?
I have had constipation and bloating issues for a year and a half – my doctors think I have irritable bowel syndrome. After passing a small, loose bowel movement today, I noticed what appeared to be a small, translucent, scaly organism (appeared similar to a mini mini shrimp or something along those lines?) with small antennae in the toilet bowl. This is the first time anything like this has occurred and I am freaked out. I have a doctor’s appointment lined up, but this is grossing me out – do I have some sort of parasitic infection?!

ETA: I did have some yellowish diarrhea the day before yesterday. Have not been out in the sun.

I’m not a doctor but you need to put down the laptop and go to the hospital and take care of that.

Question by mommy of 2: Gross Question, but whatever – Loose bowel movements/Intestinal cramping for more than a week now 34 wks preg
Is this normal? It’s actually the complete opposite for me because I have Irritable Bowel Syndrome and I’m usually ALWAYS constipated and I only use the toilet once a day or less. Now, I am using atleast 2 -3 times a day with intestinal cramping, diahrea/loose stools for a week an a half or slightly longer.

Any relation to starting labor soon (in a few weeks?) or just something that comes with pregnancy?

Answer by amosunknown
They say that the runs can be a sign of labor coming. I know i had softer BMs a few weeks before labor.

Question by Ajg4: When you have loose feces that are yellowish what does this mean?
does it mean the food did not digest properly? Also i had this quite often for the past couple of years (between ages 12-16) I do not have stomach pain, and sometimes it is hard to pass, then after straining it turns loose..Could it be irritable bowel syndrome?
