I'm having to keep poo chart, showing date, time, consistency according to the Bristol stool chart, etc. Makes interesting reading, not.
Actually we should talk more about bowel issues. Then we would have a better idea of what is ok and when to seek advice.
And when you have any bowel condition it helps to know you are not alone. I haven't had a lot of support during the 50 years of IBS, partly because not enough is known and because it isn't sinister. The best support is from fellow sufferers. In latter years I have been upfront with my family about what is going on and if it affects my activities outside of home I feel I can say I have IBS issues. There is greater understanding now and I feel I don't have to hide it or feel I am being judged. (My mum used to insist I was emotionally unstable. My problem not caused by her of course.)
