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? J.
P.S. sorry this is so long, but before dentist, 2 days before i start taking Imodium and cut down on what i eat, very plain, and take or wear disposables, even have those plastic underwear... it upsets my routine, if i in fact have a routine, but like you dont want to have an accident in middle of dental work.... and rather do all this before going anywhere, i now stay home. Was at daughter's for half hour the other day as she was going away, went to go pee in her bathroom and yep, fecal incontinence, but i take a bagt with me with change of underwear, cloths, wipes, spry, you name it... but its still miserable to go through so rarely visit her and she is only a few blocks away. Whereve i go my bag of emergency supplies goes with me.... a therapist with colitis gave me that tip.
