A member asked:
What does it mean when i have constant large fecal matter?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
That depends: If it is dry, hard and large - then it could mean constipation. To avoid constipation drink at least 8 - 8 ounce glasses of water per day, eat 5 servings of veggies and 4 of fruit and stay physically active.
