Brief Answer:
Regulate stool consistency

Detailed Answer:

Hello,

I think it has to do with consistency of the stools.
Stools that stay longer in body, lack water because more water is absorbed during long stay so they fall apart.
Also this shows that they lack fiber.
This also shows that your stools lack good intestinal bacteria that also keep water within them.

I recommend:
* Have a diet rich in fiber by eating more fruit and vegetables
* Drink more water
* Take probiotics to restore intestinal flora
* Eat more Yogurt
* Do more physical activity because it helps to increase bowel movement

Hope I have answered the question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
