A member asked:

What do i need to take to make my stool hard?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Vegetables: If you have serious diarrhea see your doctor. Especially if there is blood in it. If it isn't that bad add fiber to your diet in the form of grains & vegetables. Look at the fiber content as well as the calorie content to balance it out.
