A member asked:
Other then cancer, what else can cause thin stools?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Thin stool: Based on your question, it seems as though you're asking about stool caliber (diameter) rather than consistency (solid/liquid) when you say "thin". Anything that narrows the diameter of the canal can narrow diameter, often hemorrhoids. If loose stools, diet and infections are common causes.
