Post by: [email protected] on February 21, 2020, 03:23:54 PM

Hi ladies anyone have trouble with bowels.never suffered constipation. But started to eat more healthy and my stools are like cow Pat's (sorry about this ) and can vary in colour from normal brown to mustard colour. I am getting obsessive with it. Does your diet change colour of stools thank you for any help ladies catkins xxx

We have a HUGE thread about bowels so it's seems to be a common problem.  IBS.  Not being able to go.  Going to much too often ........

Hi Catkins,

I'm glad I'm not the only one looking at her poos. I'm seems to be the same colour from day to day. But my dietitian got me on probiotics and they went a lot darker. Same as when I take iron tablets.

I'm constantly adjusting my diet day by day, trying to get a good poo. I like it to come out really easy as I suffer from piles on and off for the last 11 years. Internal and external and sometimes bleeding for three weeks at a time.

I think diet could change your poo colour

Have a look-see at the POO! thread  ;)

Iron tablets are known for causing constipation.
