Hi thanks for contacting HCM....
You are passing stool two to three times a day ....
And stool is semisolid ....
So no need for much worry....
Here it might be because you are taking fatty foods and no bile reservoir that is gall bladder present....
So here first dietary modification done first....
Take low fat diet....
Heavy fatty meal avoided....
Just now no drug needed....
If stool frequency increases or severe diarrhea there then consult gastroenterologist.....
Take care.
