A member asked:
Bowel movements everyday. soft normal-looking stool, but sometimes it looks like diarrhea. after bowel movements, i feel like i didn't get everything out and i have to strain. is that constipation? or what could it be?

Soft stool: I assume you're not taking a laxative or stool softener. Firm up your stool by avoiding caffeine, highly insoluble fiber foods(like Apple skins), spicy foods,dairy products, high fat foods. Try taking probiotics,eat white rice and bananas,and soluble fiber like beans and peas. Taking psyllium fiber should help.
