A member asked:
My husband has been having frequent solid bowel movements for two weeks straight, sometimes 5 times a day. is this a sign of a problem?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not really: If his bowel movements are solid, and there are no other symptoms, he is probably just eating a high fiber diet. The warning signs are loose stool and other issues like fever, abdominal pain, etc.
