What does it mean if your bowel movements are loose?

In: Intestinal Health [Edit categories]

Answer:

Most likely you need more fibre in your diet to help balance the consistency of your stool. Eating yogurt helps as well by adding acidophilus a helpful bacteria to the GI tract. If you have loose watery stools that have a lot of mucus or blood see your doctor as those are signs of a serious condition.
