Take a close look at your stool, in particular look at the shape, size, smell and shade.
Shape
Do you have pellet-like stools that often fall apart in the bowl and can be difficult to expel?
Do you have a dull ache in the lower abdomen, a feeling of incomplete evacuation even though you may be having multiple bowel movements, and lots of gas and bloating?
Are the stools thin?
Are the stool very thin?
Size
Are the stools small and hard?
Or are they large and soft?
Smell
What is the smell like? Different to normal? Are you on any meds?
Are your stools floating, foul-smelling stool with an oily sheen?
Shade
What is the colour of the stool?
Have you been checked for celiac disease?
I WAS WONDERING IF YOUR TAKING FISH OIL OR SOME OTHER OIL?
FISH OIL WILL SHOW IN THE STOOL. THE MORE YOU TAKE THE MORER YOU SHOW AND YOU DEFINITLY COULD GET LOWER CRAMPS.
GOOD LUCK

I have been checked for celiac and it was negative. Not taking any fish oils.. Seriously a mystery! I'm getting stressed and upset because no one can figure out what is causing it.
when you say you were checked for ceoliac do you mean by blood test or biopsy?
I have been tested both ways and both were negative. CT was normal as well so I don't know anymore
