The doctor diagnosed me with irritable bowel. Over the years, the
diarrhea has become increasingly worse, with alternating patterns of
diarrhea and normal bowel movements. Over the past year or so, it's become much worse I have noticed. Lately I have noticed a lot of dark, ribbon like stools. They usually float (not sure if that means much). They are usually quite thin, maybe the width of a pencil, with lengths varying from small to medium.
