Thin stools mean...?

[Asher]

My daily symptoms:
Soft stool (usually not D)
Not urgent
can go days without going (usually 3 days between movements though sometimes I go once a day)

But this week I've been constipated for 5 days. No pain really, just that Heavy feeling in my gut.

Today my boss decided to go to the bathroom! Yay!
Except I'm having thin stools (maybe a little wider than a pencil?) and During bowel movements, I'm having a mix between D and these thin stools

What does that mean? Does this mean I have a narrowing or a potential stricture? Or could it just be something that just happens sometimes?

I don't have pain really, except cramps when I go, but after I'm done they subside after a few minutes.

It does sound like you have some narrowing at least at the moment, probably a bit early to call it a stricture. Do you see your GI anytime soon? Best to have it looked at while it may be only inflammation and there is something to be done about it.

I agree with shamrock. I'd be concerned about narrowing and would consult with your GI.
