Why is my stool coming out in balls?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Constipated: When you don"t have regular, complete bowel movements, stool stuck in the intestine becomes dry and separates into small balls or pebbles. Talk to your doctor about dietary changes for constipation, such as more fiber and water , and less processed foods and carbs.
