A member asked:
A couple of times as of late, my stool comes out with a bit of a 'tail' just at the end. so it's normal size, but thinner at the very end. problem?

Less worries please: Stool texture (regardless of volume or frequency of movements) , shape, & caliber are affected by multiple factors (fiber intake, bacterial load, GI transit, fluid secretion, sphincter and rectal tone, etc.) Share a photo with your GI doc for evaluation as warranted.
