Ribben like stool

I have learned a gross thing that is my responsibility to make sure as many of you know as I can.

If your stool is thin and ribben-like, you should talk to your doctor about it.

There's a small chance this information could have changed my disease progression, because I'm fairly sure it appeared before the pain. But I talk about pain without hesitation on social media, and after a year of constant diahrea I still find the subject unpleasant to talk about, so I never wrote anything down about it, and I can never know the chronology.

From the comments

James Petrosky: When I read ribben like, I knew exactly what it meant, there was no doubt. So if you aren't thinking "oh yeah that's what that looks like" right now, you can let the anxiety go for now.
