A member asked:
Soft stools but feeling of incomplete evacuation since three weeks. since a few days when i have a bm, i pass a stool that is about 2 cm wide followed by several small stools (about 1 cm wide and some are even smaller). is this normal? the size?

Small stools: This is not abnormal. Soft stools are a good sign. Consider increasing fiber in your diet - dried beans, fruits and vegetables, sweet potatoes, and other bulk forming foods, which should increase the caliber of your stools and improve your bowel regularity
