Brief Answer:
Stop all medications related to this symptom

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for writing in.
If the current consistency and frequency of stool has been constant for the past few months or years then you do not have to worry..
If this has changed recently then you may need further investigation.
If the color and volume are fine I do not see any problem in it. Only if the stools are mixed with blood or mucus{frothy } then again investigations are required.
I hope this answers your query.
Regards

Brief Answer:
Buttermilk or yoghurt is advisable

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
As there is no mucus or blood in the stools you need not worry at all. I would advise not to take any medicine for stool hardening. What is important is that your bowel is cleared properly. Instead regular consumption of buttermilk or yoghurt will suffice.
