We have all already attributed stress or digestion to a little discomfort in the stomach or persistent fatigue. But sometimes these signals can hide something more serious. This is the strong message that content creator Radwah Oda wanted to convey when she publicly shared her diagnosis. His goal? Let no one miss the signs that alerted her too late. Here are five little-known signs that deserve your full attention — not to alarm you, but to help you get to know yourself better.
Have your stools changed shape? This is not trivial
It's not the most glamorous topic, but it's important: the shape of your stool can say a lot about your digestive well-being. Stools that have become very thin, pencil-like, can signal a narrowing of the colon, often due to inflammation or obstruction. You should not worry about an isolated episode, but if this change becomes habitual, it is better to talk to your doctor.

Do you go to the bathroom more often? Or on the contrary, do you feel the need to go there without succeeding? These changes can be due to many factors (diet, stress, disturbed transit), but if this persists for more than two weeks, especially with other small symptoms, medical advice is required. It is better to consult to rule out a deeper disorder.
Persistent fatigue, even after a good night's sleep
