What Causes Constipation And Stringy Bowel Movements?
My friend has been having camel colored stringy bowel movements with occasional constipation and sometimes her stool is pastey. She had a colonoscopy last year and the MD told her her anatomy was different and to eat more fiber and exercise. She states she hasn't had a normal "log shaped" bowel movement in a long time. Please help, what does this mean?
