Can anyone provide some insight? I’m experiencing stools that are sometimes light-colored and other times dark and sticky, almost like play dough. I’m quite concerned and unsure what this might indicate. Thanks in advance.
Stools can vary in shape, size, and color for many reasons. It might be helpful to consider if you’ve eaten anything out of the ordinary or if your diet includes enough fiber. Keeping a food diary could help identify if a specific food is causing these changes. Diet can often impact stool consistency. If tracking your diet doesn’t clarify things, it’s best to consult your doctor for reassurance and guidance.
Are you experiencing alternating constipation, loose stools, or diarrhea? How long have you noticed these changes in your stools?
constipation can range from not going at all to passing tiny pellet size amounts that are rock solid and involve a lot of straining and pushing, however, most people do have to push a little to release a stool
