Unformed stool

Unformed stools are actually very common. The main manifestations are small amounts of dry and hard stools. The nature of the stool cannot be ignored. The occurrence of this phenomenon is directly related to our eating habits. The main components of the diet have a great impact on the stool. Let’s take a look at the knowledge related to loose stools.

The situation of unformed stools is greatly related to the food we eat in our daily diet. In daily life, if we mainly eat foods with high protein such as meat, or foods with high viscosity such as glutinous rice, our stools will be very sticky and very uncomfortable. However, if we eat more whole grains and vegetables, the stool will easily become solid, resulting in frequent bowel movements.

Unformed stool does not mean that the stool is thin, but that the stool is shaped like loose mud, commonly known as thin feces. Unlike diarrhea, the frequency of bowel movements may not increase or may increase slightly; stool excretion is not smooth or there is a feeling that the stool is not completely discharged, and the stool is sticky and uncomfortable. The two can exist alone or alternately.

Unformed stool is one of the typical symptoms of enteritis. Other symptoms of chronic enteritis include: intestinal rumbling, diarrhea, bloody stools, abdominal pain, constipation, foamy stools, etc. If the stool is unformed for a long time and lasts for more than a week, it indicates an organic disease. In addition, unformed stool may also be related to drugs, emotional stress, food intolerance, abnormal colon motility, small intestinal dysfunction, and abnormal esophageal and gallbladder motility.

There are many reasons for loose stools. In our daily life, the main factor is caused by diet. For the sake of our physical health and the absorption of nutrients in our bodies, we need to understand dietary stimulation. Maintaining a reasonable eating pattern and habit is beneficial to our health.
