Answer 1

you may need to see a doc

Answer 2

Wow, okay...that's an interesting health question. I don't know how to make this less graphic since it's a sensitive question, so I'll just do my best. I believe it's referring to when a person becomes constipated - when the body has problems emptying the colon for different reasons - the stools are normally difficult to push out, therefore they tend to come out in small one inch oval-shaped balls (thus what you are referring to as pellets). Normally there will be several of these versus a normal bowel movement, which produces normally around 2-3 much longer stools. Hope that helps. I tried to answer as sensitively as possible. Take care.

Answer 3

Krissy's right. You're constipated and the best way to fix this is to increase your fiber intake. Everyone goes through this at some point in their life. For my babies I give them apple juice or prune juice to move it along quickly. You can try that before taking fiber pills. Change your diet and add fiber foods. Don't just let it go though. If it continues you can end up with other problems like diverticulitis and anal fissures.

Answer 4

You probably need to up your fiber intake & drink more water. Try more fruits, veggies & bran. You could also take a daily dose of benefiber if it is easier.

Answer 5
