Why my stools are so hard???

Answer 1

You don't drink enough water.

Answer 2

Unhealthy diet. Most of the time, constipation is due to a diet that doesn't include enough water and fiber, both of which help your bowels move properly. People who eat a lot of fast food may find they're constipated more often. This is because fast food is full of fats (burgers, fries, milkshakes) and processed sugars (candy, cookies, sugary soft drinks). A healthier diet that includes high-fiber foods like fruits, vegetables, and whole grains can keep your stool from getting hard and dry.

Stress. People can get constipated when they're anxious about something, like a life change or a problem at home. Research has shown that stress can affect how the digestive system functions and can cause constipation, as well as other conditions, like diarrhea.

Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Some people have a condition called irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), which can act through stress or by eating certain "trigger" foods, which usually are fatty or spicy. A person with IBS may have either constipation or diarrhea, as well as stomach pain and gas.
Ignoring the natural urge. Avoiding going to the bathroom, even when you really have the urge to go, can cause constipation. When you ignore the urge to go, it can be harder to go later on.

Certain medications. Sometimes, medications like antidepressants and those used to treat iron deficiencies can lead to constipation.

In rare cases, constipation is a sign of other medical illnesses, so keep your doctor informed if you continue to have problems, or if the constipation lasts for 2 to 3 weeks

Answer 4

Try drinking at least 8-10 8-oz. glasses of water. Eat more fresh and canned fruits. Use Colace or generic form to help, If all this fails,see a GI doctor.

Answer 5

A lack of fluids, for a start. Then your diet may have too much white bread or white flour in it. Get more fibre from fresh fruit (not juices, the whole fruit), but make sure that you drink more water - just plain water.

Answer 6

You're not getting enough Fiber in your diet.
Try using a laxative to flush out things if it's really bad.I'd reccomend Milk of Magnesia and then eating more greens.

Answer 7

Lack of enough hydration, eating poorly, stress. Increase water, veggies & complex carbs (oatmeal, "high in fiber" noted foods), possibly start on natural fiber supplements
