A member asked:
I was wondering are round ball-like stools abnormal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably fine: Stools can be round and ball-like. If you are concerned about them, you should try to increase the fiber and liquid in your diet. Sometimes even a fiber supplement such as Metamucil would be useful. You probably will see your stools bulk up if you do that. Good luck.
