A diet of bananas, rice, breads and apples can bulk up and slow stools as a short-term fix. If it persists, see your doc to find out why. It could be a symptom of a long-term problem.

Agree with Dr. Ferguson. You may also try taking an anti-diarrhea medication like Imodium. If the symptom persists it would be imperative to see a doctor to address the underlying cause.
