Thank you for responding to my message. In regards to your problem, my brother-in-law had the same thing happen. I'm guessing that while the stones were coming down the digestive tract they were dissolving and merging together. Keep yourself hydrated, perhaps drinking more water will make them dissolve giving you more diarrhea softening the stool. This happened when my sister drank more water. Hopefully this will help you on your next cleanse.
