What Causes Abnormal Bowel Movements?

My stool doesn t come out in a long S shaped mass. Instead, it usually comes out as smaller, pebble like clumps, it s also a bit dry, sometimes causing pain and difficulty expelling. I m currently taking a diuretic and have been trying to drink more and more water as well as fiber. Is there anything else I can do or any supplements I can take to make bowel movement more normal?

thank you for posting your query in healthcaremagic.com.....

you are suffering from some constipation....
see having a healthy diet with lots of fibre and plenty of fluids help normal bowel clearance...but sometimes you need some other aids also...
i would suggest you to take liv52 tablets or so-called liver tonics like sorbiline etc for a month....also if your stool still does not become softer and regular, try having isphagula husk with water before sleep....it gives very good bowel clearance...

hope that was helpful.....
contact me for any further queries...
regards
