What Causes Thin Stools With Stringy Edges?

Hi, for nearly a week now I have noticed that my stools have become thinner and not so bulky, lots of them when I go and a bit stringy around the edges. I have no abdominal pain, slight constipation sometimes this week but not that much, no blood in the stools etc. What can this be.

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, such stool consistency is not due to any disease but it could be due to poor digestion function and it the self limiting condition, I would suggest to take care in diet have light diet that can digest easily like vegetable diet, liquid diet hope this information helps.
