What Could Soft Bowel Movements Suggest?
For about a month now, my bowel movements have been very soft (like soft serve ice cream - sorry for the comparison, but it s the best description.) Sometimes I leak a little too. I am 67 years old, healthy, have no pain. bloating, excessive gas, vomiting, etc. I feel fine. Perhaps I have Celiac disease? IBS? Colon cancer? Just moved and got a MediCare supplement plan, and intend to see a new PCP soon, unless I should see someone sooner...what say you, Dr.?

Hi don't take tension.
First you do your USG abdomen.
Don't think about cancer like diagnosis.
Yes it could be irritable bowel disorder.
Avoid fatty food and gas forming food Like cabbage.
Avoid stress.
TAKE FIBER CONTAINING FOOD, like cereal and whole pulse.
Drink more water.
Take fruits.
Avoid excess meat in diet.
Do exercise regularly.
This will surely help you.don't worry.
