I have narrow stools just about all the time and haven't
ever taken digestive enzymes. The thin stools as Anthem
pointed out just before he took his hiatus from the boards,
are due specifically due to the colon spasming down,i.e., a
muscle ring or more contract and narrow down the diameter
of the colon substancially, as much as pencil thin. Also,
there is a variety of things that can trigger spasms,eating
trigger foods is one for example. Now, enzymes won't do this
unless they contain triggers, and some do. There are brands
that contain mannitol for example. Perhaps, Nelly's brand
did. Additionally, yes, these stools are difficult to pass
out, that along with high BP is what lead to my stroke.You
can lessen the straining by taking more miralax which is
what I'm doing now. Other problems like perineal descent,
which I have can make the problem worse. In additon to
the rectum feeling(being) tranquilized, as Nelly described,
it is obstructed by the perineum that has descended behind
the rectum.
