Re: thin stools

They say our colon gets narrow by junk stuck to the walls. I think thin stool is more than that though.
I had them, for two years. Then they got bigger and bigger, huge eventually. Then it went back to being narrow now, so frustrating.
The point is, it is not permanent.

helps:

Fibre - soluable, not psyllium. Flaxseed, nuts, fruit.

Bowel stimulants from bile salts - try Cascara Sargada [tree bark herb] as a laxitive occaisionally. I have had HUGE stools, nicely golden colored too, from drinking a cup of strong Cascara sargada the night before.

Diet - stay away from Sugar mostly, and processed grains [incl pasta!!] , not much grains at all. Try that.

Olive oil - it worked so well for me once, but not so much lately - it is lubricant, and can really help - I drink about 3 or 4 oz all at once - don't let it touch your lips and it isn't as bad then. Good organic Pure Extra-Virgin Olive-Oil can do many things to help the bowel.

MOST IMPORTANT OF ALL - 60 TO 80 oz OF WATER A DAY FOR THREE DAYS - this will almost certainly assure you are re-hydrated, it is hard to do.
Drinking water may make you feel funny but it lasts only five minutes, please please do it. Find a way... three days...
If you have not ever done that, I can almost promise it will help your narrow stools be bigger.

hope this helps, I feel your agony my friend. Tweet
