Pain and two types of stool in one bowel movement

[butterfly_mama]

I have had a lot of pain in my lower abdomen since yesterday and it woke me out of sleep through the night. The pain goes through to my back sometimes. It feels really uncomfortable in my lower abdomen and it feels like there is a lot of pressure. There's some cramping with it, but it's not menstural cramps. I thought it may have been a bladder infection since sometimes it feels a little uncomfortable down there as well, no burning when I urinate or anything, just an occassional stinging feeling and because of the pressure I feel like I do have to urinate and just a little comes out. However, now I think that there may be something else wrong because of this mornings bowel movement. There was two different types and colors of stool in the toilet.  It looked like two bowel movements happened at different times in the toilet. Towards the back of the toilet, what would have come out first looked "normal" in color etc. and then to the front of the toilet was dark, mushy stool.  Is this normal? Can you have two different types of stool in one bowel movement? Could the pain I'm having be associated with something being wrong with this bowel movement?  I'm not sure if it's nothing to worry about or not. And come to think of it, throughout the week I've had occassionally darker stools, not shaped normally.  I don't currently have health insurance anymore so I don't want to jump the gun and go to the doctor.  Thanks in advance for you help!

hi i get this alot of the time and i suffer from ibs. I can have a normal stool and while im still on the toilet it can change into diarroeh or i can be constipated or it just looks like theres 2 different stools in the toilet. The tummy cramps and pains in the abdomen are prob the worst part but u dont need to worry as ibs isnt a disease everyone who suffers from ibs is different and have different symptoms. Maybe u should sit down and think has there been anything in ur home life thats making you stressed? Anything at all?? bcoz i no tht wen im stressed or anxious my ibs gets worse. so just sit and think. also it might help 2 go and see ur gp just 2 put ur mind at rest. i hope this helps and please keep me informed about wot happens x
