The rest of the stool hasn't been around for as long, so there is still moisture in it, keeping it smooth and soft. I think the ideal is for the whole BM to be pretty much uniform in consistency, but mine are often the same as yours. -------------------- IBS-C, lots of spasm and trapped gas.

Fiber doesnt work and stool softeners dont seem to agree with my system either Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Pages: 1
