I am noticing persistent thick stool consistency and looking for dietary tips to help with this issue. I am maintaining a good fluid intake and eating pretty much anything that I want to have without any issues and am not purposefully eating items that I would know to expect to thicken the stool. Due to the thick consistency, I am often having wafers/bags that are not staying secure or often needing changed daily, and sometimes twice a day (totally irritating when this occurs) because the stool is thick and does not flow easily into the bag. I was previously having more "thin" but not loose/diarrhea stool which was very manageable and tolerable. Initially, I thought it was a slowing of peristalsis and just a reduced output volume. But this seems to be becoming a new pattern of output.
