What can cause my 5 year old to have very long smooth turds? they are the size of a grown ups

No problem: Bowel function on a daily basis is normal as long as there is no blood, dark stools--instead of brown and not associated with rectal pain. Size of stool is associated with what is eaten and the amount of fiber in the diet. Sounds like no issue of concern. Discuss with your child's physician if you have other questions.
