What causes feces shaped like little pellets?
The shape of stool is a function of the amount of fibre in your diet and also the speed that the food passes through the small and large intestine. The longer it takes the more water is reabsorbed by intestinal lining and put back into body circulation. Thorough dewatering results in hard small stool. Longer stool has a lot more water in it and transits quickly. Fiber provides bulk and more water retaining ability. Long soft stools are better than small hard ones, because it provides less strain on the colon and anus, and avoids constipation. Also, there is small increase in colonic disease when stool spends a lot of time in the large intestine. Some bacterial byroducts are not good. (but the majority are good, e.g. that is our source of vitamin K etc.). increased cancer rates have been observed in people who do not get enough liquids and roughage (fiber) in their diets.

Why does your stomach gurgle on your left side and cramp sometimes before a bowel movement?
Your stomach is on the left side of your body and cramp sometimes will happen if you haven't had enough calcium In actual fact it is not your stomach that you are referring to, but your abdomen of which your stomach is just one part. The gurgle and cramp before a bowel movement is usually due to peristalsis (the normal progressive contractions of bowel) in the left flexure of the greater colon as it forces air and faeces round this difficult bend into the descending colon. All this is an essential part of the final bowel movement.
