Lack of water: Drink more water. Sounds like your constipated. The stool needs fluid to soften and evacuate. Are you drinking 8 glasses a day of water, milk, tea what have you? Foods will also cause bowel habit changes. If you need a med visit the pharmacy aisle and speak with the pharmacist. Many good choices there. Add more fiber to your diet and drink lots of water.
