A member asked:
Is there something wrong if all my stools have been very narrow for the last week?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Narrow...: If they are soft, no change in color and no blood - usually no concerns. You probably just need some fiber and hydration to bulk up stool. If concerned, see physician.
