I have been having stomach issues for about a month and a half now and have started to become quite paranoid and concerned about what could be causing these issues. I’ve started taking fiber pills in an attempt to help alleviate some of the problems, but so far, it has not helped…

I finally made an appointment with my Dr and saw her today. She asked me about sexual practices, travel and diet; and told me to keep a journal of everything I put in my body for the next 3 weeks and to come back and see her with said journal. She also told me that I should cut out all coffee, caffeine, alcohol, and acidic such as tomatoes…

She then sent me downstairs to pick up my plastic cups for poo samples for three days which I must drop off when collected….

How does one gracefully collect their own poo samples?
