off and on thin, flat stools

off and on thin, flat stools

A few weeks ago I posted a question regarding me having a thin flat stool. It returned to normal in a couple of days. Now, just today, I had a thin, flat stool again. I didn't have any problems with thin or flat stools in between these episodes. Is this a sign of colon cancer or something else?

Anyone?

It can be a sign of an obstruction, of cancer, or of bowel spasms. If you are worried, you need to contact your doc and ask for testing.

Oddly enough my stools appear to be back to normal already.
