A member asked:

I've been seeing little, triangular hard bits in my stool. they don't brake apart at all. is this normal?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

What R U eating?: What goes in (and can't be entirely broken down in your gut) often comes out without significant visible change (e.g. Chewing gum, corn kernels, etc.). Think about what you've eaten in the last three days and your mystery may be solved.
