I had very thin looking stool yesterday but back to normal today. should i worry? i try to avoid gluten but on vacation and have had more than normal

No: This happens to anyone and unless the change is permanent (which may suggest some obstruction in the gut) it should be of no concern. The size may also depend on the amount of fiber in your diet.
