Worried about stools: Normal bowel frequency varies from 3 movements/ day to one movement every 3 to 4 days. Stool consistency, measured by bristol stool scale, varies from normal (4), hard (1-3), soft (5-7). Examine your diet & any supplements you take, plus keep a food diary to assess trends (e.g. Food intolerances). Try a dietary fiber supplement to regulate stool texture. Bleeding, incontinence, pain needs eval.
