Soft/shiny stool
Sorry for the picture in advance. But this is how my stool looks like mostly now since past 3-4 days, prior to this i had faced constipation for 1-2 weeks but now its happening like this. I have to go to bowel movements for 2-3 times a day. Is this any infection or something? I am worried. Please help me.
No bleeding, or pain, while washing feels like mucusy/jelly.
My bowel movements are changed post the h pylori treatment i had taken 4-5 months back. Tried a lot of probiotics as wel but of no use. How do I make my stomach and bowel movements correct? I do eat fiber, when i take fiber supplements i get bulky stool otherwise like this.
I workout daily, as wel as drink 4-5 litres of water daily and also i eat fruits and eat homemade food only.
I am scared of cancer :(. A distant relative of mine passed away few years back due to colon cancer since, that scares me after i started having bowel alterations :(.
My family doesn't have any cancer history though. Please guide me. Very scared.

Do the following tests and scan :
1) Stool analysis
2) Culture and Sensitivity Stool
3) Colonoscopy
4) Sigmoidoscopy
Take Pre Pro IBS : 1 tab once daily after meal for 10 days.
Rest continue the same diet and routine which you have been following all these days. Nothing to worry. You are doing the right thing just do the tests and scan which I mentioned above and follow it up with a Gastroenterologist.
Next Steps
Consult under Practo in case of emergency!
