It sounds like you need a colonoscopy so a doctor can visualize the bowels. Any restricted portion of the intestines can cause feces to "flatten" as it passes through that portion. it would be in the large intestines, most likely, because the feces has already become formed (not watery). As to possible causes for this, they are too many to list-- like a kink in the bowel, a small bowel blockage, something in the abdomen pressing on the bowel from outside it, etc.
