After fistula surgery left me with a deficiency I find my biggest issue these days is watery stools. This is probably my normal state and was ok before my sphincter was damaged. I visited Google and saw the Bristol_Stool_Chart, my typical stool would be the wateriest, a 7.
I usually have a high fiber diet which I'm beginning to understand is contributing to my problem. What and how can I eat to minimize this? I don't eat milk or cheese products of any kind, usually stay away from processed foods and don't usually eat in restaurants. I do have a weakness for coffee, and I'm thinking that might be part of the problem. Probably 3 cups a day on avg.
Pls help. It's quite limiting.
Pete
