A member asked:
Is having very soft bowel movement(stool) just once everyday counting as diarrhea?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Diarrhea is frequent watery stools often many times a day. You note "very small and not growing." That requires medical assessment and should include testing for celiac disease, bone age xray, routine labs, thyroid testing and based on exam may require other tests.
