#medstudenthyperchondriac

Another poo story - I seem to have plenty of these recently. Anyway, my bowel motions of late have been like a type 6 on the Bristol Stool Chart - mainly due to the fact that I don't eat a lot of gluten in my diet (and that usually does a really good job at binding your bowel motions together). So watery shits don't really disturb me because they disappear when I eat carbohydrates. 

I digress. 

This morning I was on the crapper and when I wiped, I saw blood. My thoughts immediately leapt to "Oh shit, oh shit, I have bowel cancer" - not even like, "Oh, maybe haemorrhoids".

Then I realised I had my period. There was an audible sigh of relief.
