I am passing hard ball like stools per past month. before its normal. why?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hard stool: Likely constipated. Drink 2-3 liters fluid a day, eat greens ( broccoli, spinach, celery, lettuce) sweet potatoes, avocados, and oats/ or lentils/ brown rice a day and see if improves. If persists follow up with gastroenterologist. ,
