What Causes Persistent Soft Stools?
No stomach pains at all. Been pooping soft mush (not dirreah) for about a month or two. Varies in color from dark brown to yellow. Mostly a yellowish color. I have been eating fiberious food to harden it but not luck. Still soft yellowish mush. Today when I used the restroom, I had mostly yellow liquid and very litte(amount) poop. Is it possbily just a GI infection or something more serious. I have been trying to turn my bowls into something more solid by eating fiberious foods and V8 High Fiber Vegatable juice. Some times I feel like I really have to go to the restroom and when I do its only thick yellow liquid.

Avoid spicy food and alcohol, avoid smoking and caffeine drinks. take soft diet with regular exercise.
