A member asked:
My feces came out like long rope, why is this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Rope-like stool: The texture and length of stool varies with foods, speed of emptying of the GI tract, medications ; supplements ingested, gut flora (unique for each individual), additives (like blood), subtractions (like absent bile), infection/exposures, inflammation, other factors. Easy to run a few tests here--call your doc if your described bowel pattern is unusual for you & persists.
