Medical Conditions - Stool Changes

Stool changes are referred to as the abnormal color of stools, changes in the consistency and frequency of stools. Changes in bowel habits can occur due to Crohn's disease, irritable bowel syndrome, thyroid disorders, diverticulosis, and celiac disease. Taking medications and an increased amount of laxatives can affect bowel movements. Abnormal color changes observed in stools are black-colored stools, clay-colored stools, deep red stools, and white-colored stools. Changes observed in the consistency of stool are dry stools, hard stools, mucus that leaks around the stool, and loose stools. Normal stools appear brown and they are easy to pass.
