Grainy or sand-like stool in adults can be caused by several factors, including dietary choices, particularly a high intake of fiber or undigested food particles. Conditions such as gastrointestinal infections, malabsorption disorders, or irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) may also contribute to this type of stool.
