A member asked:
I have chronic constipation and am going to see a gastroenterologist soon but today my stool had a large undigested bean in it. is it normal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
YES: Undigested food , particularly LEGUMES (beans etc) is common HOWEVER WATCHING YOUR STOOLS IS NOT! Unless instructed to do so or looking for an accidentally ingested foreign body stool "watching" is NOT HEALTHY! My Opinion Only Hope that it's helpful Dr Z
