A member asked:

My poop is often mushy. but i have a normal poop schedule(once or twice per day, not urgent) can this be mild crohn's or uc? or is that unlikely?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Seems unlikely: May want to try fiber supplementation to bulk stool, followed by further evaluation if the problem persists.
