Oh my gosh! I can’t imagine! The world of gut problems. You just never know what to expect and the problems have to be the grossest in the body. It takes a very special person to go into gastro medicine. They earn every penny of their income and more.
I agree there are times I want to take a picture of my BMs just to show the dr what’s going on.
You are fortunate to get to the dentist. I need to have dental work done but don’t trust my gut to sit in the chair without needing to use the loo. I don’t want him to be in the middle of a procedure and me having to jump out of the chair to go to the bathroom.
Please take care. It’s time I find my way to bed.

hi @judy75 and all... well, i try and think of my poop/feces as processed food because really that's what it is,with a few things thrown in. I did take a 2 photos when i knew something was wrong in 2018 as so peculiar and looked like bits of blood etc., my dr. was on vacation and i showed to dr. at walkin clinic and he ordered the tests. when my dr. returned and i had diagnosis of c.diff i told him about the photos and went to get them from my purse and he said; i dont want to see them! Around same time i started to go to a naturopath, very nice woman, and at appointment after all this and figuring out what to do, i sold her about photos and what my dr. said and she said; oh show them to me! i am very interested in this !
Honestly, from birth to death we are evacuating food and liquids we intake.... and of course, its not a subject to talk about around the dinner table, but for a doctor not to want to even look a at very extraordinary photo.... and you cant even mention the words; toilet paper, in front of some people, lol....maybe as i have been forced to discuss it over the years, it's just another word in the dictionary - but living the life with it is life changing. By the way, rough time at dentist... 70 year old molar with very wide roots, he had a tough time pulling out and grinding them down,,,, eeek.... and after almost an hour start to finish even my listening to the drill with my tinnitus and hyperacousis, i stumbled out of their office ... Reading about it, apparently man dentists get tinnitus from constantly listening to drills! Wishing you the best outcome (here they do not re-test after Vanco unless still having diarrhea0 - odd, eh?
