Brief Answer:
Increase fiber in the diet

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Welcome to HCM,.
I can understand your concern.

I would suggest to get a stool microscopy test . If it is normal then fiber supplementation in your diet should help you with the stool consistency.
Psyllium husk is a good fibre supplement.
Alternatively you can increase the fibre in the diet by taking more portions of fruits vegetables green veggies and whole wheat breads.

Hope this helps
