Check with Dr.: Loose bowel movements can have many causes. How quickly the stool moves through the colon, how will you absorb nutrients and sugars, and the bacterial component of the colon can all effect your bowel movements. See your dr. To make sure nothing is wrong. Adding fiber will oftentimes bulk up the stools and help with your problem.
