Lots of ppl with hep c have light bright and/or loose poop. The light/bright clay color poop has to do with your bile or lack of. Sounds like your poop is getting back to normal. Mr. Hankey says if it stays hard drink some prune juice!!! We haven't had a poop thread in a long time there used to be lots of them back a while ago due to the old 3 drug tx.

Doing great so far keep it up!!!!

Hey Ya'll,

Thanks for the tips. I have already ordered the Citrucel and I will increase my water intake.

This is my daughter's cat. I never really liked cats until I met this one. Her name is Lailah and I fell in love with her. She lives in Raleigh and I live in Brooklyn and I miss her...my daughter and...the cat...LOL...LOLwinkwink

Are we discussing poop again?  Oh joy, one of my favorite topics.  lol

Poet, your cat is so cute.  I see he is still walking on two paws instead of four.  They generally learn the four paw walk at about a year.  yawn

Sounds like you need to concentrate on increasing your water intake. If your stool is hard, I would increase fiber and hydrate better. If you're straining to go, these tips should help relieve those problems.

your not getting enough fiber... Get a container of Citracell fiber, and take it 2x in 24 hours.. Whole scoop.

confuseMy poop continues to change. In the beginning of treatment, my poop was bright colored and some what greasy and slippery looking. However, now at the beginning of week 9, my poop looks really dark and hard as a rock. I have a pretty healthy diet. I drink a vegetable/fruit nutra blast every morning before breakfast and throughout the day I eat mostly healthy...eliminating most processed foods. I keep myself hydrated. So what's up with this poop?confuseI'm assuming it's got something to do with the sovaldi and ribavirin.
