A member asked:
I have been having bowel problems. they arent as frequent as they used to be and are kind of stringy. im not nauseous or have stomach pains, but im getting worried because they are smaller and different than before. i have used miralax & fiber one?

Changes in diet, activity and mental health affect bowel habit tremendously. At your age, change in bowel habit without any associated symptoms is not a red flag. You need to be active, hydrated and maintaining a high fiber diet you should be fine.
