A member asked:
I go between pebble poops & regular poops every other week. is this chronic constipation even though i have normal poops in between? pebble poops normally dont hurt & are easy to pass. pebble poops started with an injury that limited mobility?

I would not necessarily call it chronic constipation, but if you are not happy with the shape and size of your bowel movements, the best solution is to increase the amount of fiber in your diet and maintain good hydration. Plenty of fluids. Consider even adding in Metamucil once a day. Good luck.
