For over the Christmas weekend (perfect timing to get sick, BTW), I have had some pretty bad stomach pains.

The first night was the worst, it was just a stinging pain that would come any time I moved and I got chills but never got hot enough to warrant any real panic.

The next 2 days, the chills are gone, but the stomach pain remains.

Just today, I have noticed that my stool has gone from pure liquid to like a muddy solid (though still pretty liquid when wiping.

Here's the part that caught my eye, it appears that some of the poop sinks right away, but some remains floating and seems more "string-like" than the rest.

What exactly does this mean? When some sink and some floats in the same bowel movement?

(BTW, I'm going to my doctor tomorrow ASAP, but they were closed this Monday and they're always closed on the weekends anyways, I just figured any additional info to give them would be lovely and useful)
