What Causes Flaky Brown Stools And Irregular Bowel Movements?
I have flakey brown stools, small ish not together and a light yellow/green stringy substance inside and around them, maybe mucus. Not many tummy aches really but find it hard to go to the toilet. Have to go when i need it within about half an hour or i cant go for a couple of days. Can you please help?

Hi,
Brown colour stools may be due to irritable bowel syndrome or iron or bismuth antacids intake. Usually brown colour stools may be normal variet. Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is. Please consult your physician he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
