Digestive Issues, Soft Mushy Pooo

[Gio777]

Hi guys, hope everyone is well.

I'm 28M, fit and eat well. for the last 6 months, I have gone from having perfectly normal solid poops, to very soft and mush poops pretty much every day. My diet has not changed and I don't have any other symptoms, sometimes quite gassy. not quite sure what's happened. 
 

My diet consists of eggs and avocado, oats and fruit in the morning. Lunch and dinner I'll either have rice/pasta/potatoes with chicken/meat, sometimes fish and some sort of veggie. Supplements i take are whole foods multivitamin , zinc and l-citrulline. 

I have attached a picture of my most recent poop (sorry), I'm not sure if maybe my body is struggling to diggest fat? Cant quite figure out. I've tried digestive enzymes but no help

See your GP.

 

P.S. Did you sort out your ulcer ?

A change in one's bowel habits can be a sign of bowel cancer.  Importantly though, it can also be caused by many other things  (including a lactose intolerance and coeliac disease) which are probably FAR, FAR more likely than cancer.  Even so, as with anything which could just possibly indicate cancer, it's important to get yourself checked out by a GP.

I think this is not England is it?  and yeah a visit to the GP / family physician is warranted - change of bowel habit

and yes the photo is not  normal for a 30 y o

oh and cancer is very very rare in this age group.

Too high a dosage of zinc, maybe?

^^^ As Andrés suggests, it might be worth seeing what happens if you cut out the supplements.  You're only wasting your money on them anyway!  (The NHS advice is that, with the possible exception of Vitamin D during the winter months, nobody who's eating a balanced diet needs any form of supplements and there's absolutely nothing to gain through taking them).

That ^^^^really depends on whether or not someone eats a 'balanced diet '...or a diet suitable for their needs.

See your doctor.

My motions were like chocolate mousse and extremely smelly some years ago.  I was passing a lot of very smelly gas, too.

My GP arranged for a stool sample to be analysed and it turned out I had a rare notifiable infection from Africa.

I have never been to Africa.  Three courses of treatment got me right.

I strongly suggest that you see your GP, but I can offer that a friend had something similar and it turned out to be coeliac disease and he needed to change his diet and avoid so much roughage.
