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?

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

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.
