A member asked:
Sometimes my stools are very large is that good?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See below: If we eat a good amount of insoluble fiber, our bms will tend to be larger. Large food intake = large stool output. Good if stools are formed, soft, & bms don't involve straining. If you're gaining much weight, decrease portion size but maintain fruit & veggie intake.
