A member asked:
Is it ok to for stool to come out in two-three pieces? on average days, two-three pieces, but some times they are super long well formed stools.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes it's fine: There is no 'normal' number of pieces. Sure- if you're having prolonged runny/watery stool, bleeding, pain on defecation, weight loss etc. That's not normal. But don't stress about the number of pieces.
