Hi,I am Dr. Subhankar Chakraborty (Gastroenterologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have had soft stools for two months now; not liquid just very soft. I tried metamucil and I think this has just made it worse. I eat a banana a day and other vegetables too. What do you recommend UI take. There is no evidence of blood in my stool but I have a family history of bowel cancer?
You have got soft stools two months and you were using metamucil , natural fibre supplement?
Nice you have stopped because that will make the stool more soft.
But you continue taking fruits and veggies.
Since you have a family history of Cancer you can undergo screening for cancer every year for early detection of probs if it occurs(let it not be)
Specifically to add on to the diet is you can drink ABC juice in the morning empty stomach it's nothing but apple,beets and carrot juice that has a protection for cancer because of the vitamin A in it
Hope our suggestion helps.
Take care
