Constipation: Most common cause of constipation is your diet. Foods that absorb water in colon or have a lot of pectin in them lead to hard,dry stool. They are the grains - rice, barley, wheat, green peas -, bananas, milk. Eliminate those for a few days and the constipation frequently goes away.

What would cause my stool to be very hard but large and log-like? I generally have regular bowel movements every 1-3 days, so does that mean its not constipation?

Can constipation cause mucus in your stool? Have hard to pass stools the last few days (looks like type 1 on Bristol Stool chart), feeling of incomplete bowel movements, and noticed a small amount of mucus as well?
