    Hi Nabs,

    Part the problem is too much fiber making your stool large, also you may need to go on stool softeners. drink enough water each day and continue to watch your fiber and water intake. If your stool is too loose then add a little more fiber to your diet. I hope that helps.

    -don't eat white flour foods or anything that is constipating for you

    -add kiwis, pears, prunes, flax seed to your diet

    -take a stool softner daily such as movicol, lactulose, or magnesium citrate/oxide

    -find a good balance between your fibre intake and water intake. too much fibre or too much water can cause really big stools
