Digestion: Occasional loose stools

by Dan Stearns

What do I do about this embarrassing problem?

Sometimes it seems like your entire digestive system is in mutiny. Dealing with occasional loose stools, as well as the accompanying gas and bloating, can be embarrassing, uncomfortable, and disruptive. When it happens, you might wonder what you can do.

Occasional loose stools can be caused by food sensitivities and lactose intolerance. Following a healthy, well-balanced diet free of these foods is important, and may seem obvious, but it isn't always easy to do. Fortunately, there are supplements that provide extra intestinal support and help promote regularity.†
