I have been battling adhesions since 1990 - in Feb of this year (6 months after my last surgery) I developed a partial small bowel obstruction and since then have experienced your issue - It is a result of the SBO - I fluctuate between, the long skinny stool, pebbles and loose stools......I try to eat low residue foods and cannot tolerate too much food in one sitting so I continuously munch on things through out the day - I have not found anything that has helped my symptoms.....have you been battling adhesions for a while? what's your history?
