Why Are My Stools Round, Hard And Sticky?
My bowel movements are regular. I drink green tea all day long. I get about 30g of fiber each day. I am female, 115 lbs. My stools are round, hard, and somewhat sticky. They have been like this for quite a while now. My only medication is Pravastatin 10mg. I take a lot of supplements. Thanks for any help.
