Stool shape and color often has to do with dietary intake. Different substances in the diet will cause stool alterations-including color and shape/size. If you continue to feel like you are not emptying, you should see a GI doctor to get an evaluation to be certain this is not an issue. If it is due to constipation, after a complete evaluation, a treatment can be pursued. You may need colonoscopy.
