Question for y’all: anyone had success using things like diet cranberry juice or sugar alcohols to thin their stool?
Has anyone noticed that sugar alcohols or diet juices cause loose stool? What causes loose stool for you personally?
any input appreciated!

I tend to get thicker stool that makes it difficult to empty. I find taking magnesium daily thins it and if I need more I will drink coke, that usually helps too! I have heard fruit juices can do the same especially grape or apple, but I have not tried this myself.
Assuming adequate water consumption (this is critical!), I'd try psyllium first and see whether it was helpful. If psyllium doesn't do the trick then Miralax in small doses can work.

I like this guide. Still refer to it over 18 months out.
