I am 26 and I find it weird. i have had blood in my stool of about 6 times in 4 years.

but then it will be back to normal. the last time i saw blood was 2 months ago.

but when i had this thin stools it made me a little worried(cause i've been reading bad stuffs abou it).

and My poop is light colored and will sink fast... it won't float. but there are instances that it will make the toilet bowl dark especially when i eat too much. my toilet visits are regular though.

what do you think is causing this?

I don't drink(Alcohol) and i don't smoke for about 7 years now. i dont feel tired...i sleep like 5--7 hours a day..

and have irregular eating habits. my hobby and work are computer related and i almost sit the whole day and wont have enough exercise. is it bad?

i am bound to see a doctor within the week.

but can anybody give me a hint of what i may have?

and give me tips on how i can improve my habits...

Activa is for both and I can tell you it really helped me.

I would go 3 days of no BM and then 3 days of D. It was horrible. My body was not digesting food properly. THe docs said I had IBS/Ibd, and the gave me prescription pills for the pain and cramping I would have every single time I ate. I suffered for almost 2 years. Every meal I ate felt like I was food poisened. could not eat much for food. Everything had to be bland. Like white rice and baked chicken for the last 2 years.

I tryed Activa and the first 3-5 days I did not notice a difference. BM were still loose. I still ate one everyday and now I have been on it for 1 month. I feel like a million bucks!!!! I go the same time everyday now and its normal and there is no pain associated with it. My mood has improved and I am ten times happier then I've ever been. I can finally go out to restaraunt with my boyfriend and eat from the menu without worring. Just only regret I tried this sooner so I would not have to suffer.

And I can eat anything I want now. I might gain alot of weight at this rate. The foods that I would have to avoid before I can now eat with ease....

Like Pizza, ice cream, soda, chocolate, pudding, chips, sandwiches, an occasional beer OMG the list goes on.....
