Welcome to healthcare magic. According to your complain you have problem of thin stool that may be because of low fiber food intake in diet or other reasons. If you have thin stool with other abdominal symptoms are present more than one week than diagnose it. Stool sample test to check parasitic or bacterial infection present or not.. Colonoscopy can done if needed.. Consult a gastroenterologist for further diagnosis. Take care. Thank you.
