A member asked:
Bowel movements have become irregular in the last months. sometimes they are quite large and sometimes they are just pebbles. usually once every 3 days. not sure why its so inconsistent. increased fibre, berries, and water have had no impact. help?

Add exercise, and a stool softener or psyllium and see if you improve. You can slowly wean off these when you become OK. If not pl see your MD
