what to drink soften stool
Method 1 Softening Stool through Diet. 1. Drink more water. Dehydration can cause your body to extract as much water as it can as foods move through your digestive tract, producing dry, hard stool. Drinking enough water will soften your stool and help things move along more easily. Doctors sometimes recommend about two liters, or 8 glasses, of water per day.
