                                According to the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases, a healthy stool should be bulky and easy to pass, not small, hard, or pebble-like. If you're concerned about thin or light stools, addressing the issue typically involves increasing dietary fiber, fluid intake, and physical activity to add bulk and weight to your bowel movements.
