A member asked:
Very dry fat stool and rubbery. what to do? even though i've been taking lots of water?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Fat in stool suggestive one eats much fatty food especially hydrogenated fats in fried foods or has digestive issues with bile and Gallbladder. The Gastroenterologist is who to see. Since water does not dissolve fat. Drinking much water has little or no effect
