What should my stool look like?

Normal bowel movements vary for each person. In general, they should be brown in color (anywhere from very light to dark brown), formed, and soft to semi-soft. Characteristics not considered normal include (to name a few): blood in the stool; thick sticky or tarry stool; black stools; white stools; very loose watery stools; very hard stools; and stools that are difficult to pass that cause straining. Keep in mind that everyone's bowels are different. Some people lean more towards soft bowel movements, which is normal for them, and some people have harder to pass stools, which can also be okay. Your diet will also affect the color and consistency of your stools. If you are unsure about your bowel movements, or see blood in your stool, please see your doctor for diagnosis.
