Hi, I do think if you’re going a good amount daily I would not say your suffering constipation. Typically constipation is having a bowel movement three or less days per week.
I think this is good. You can get a painless stool blood test. You place some stool on these cards and mail or return to the lab. Very easy or your pcp would do labs, easy, and some stool testing, also easy. They can start off slowly and go from there. You don’t need to add stress to getting scheduled for a lot of tests.
I do think it’s good you have an appointment. Best of luck.

Thank you for responding.

I’ve considered seeing about a stool test before, but I haven’t mentioned the blood to a doctor. It’s come and gone for months now, but I should have it looked at to see if somethings going on. I don’t see blood all the time and don’t know if it would show up on a stool test, but sometimes it looks like blood.
