What Causes Passing Of Mushy Stools Everyday?
Hello, I am age 21 male and I m a little concerned about my current bowel consistency. About 5-6 weeks ago i noticed the change. My stools were no longer hard but instead mushy. Every Morning and evening before shower i would go to the bathroom roughly the same time as i do normally. But the results are the same, mushy stools. I ve however not yet experienced any pain or blood. Before the change of bowel consistency, i was within my exam period at university. During that time i ate a lot of fried chickens as it was the easiest and quickest food to have access to. It was roughly around this time i started having looser stool. Please respond to me quick, my anxiety is growing as time passes. Leo
