What It Means: According to Sheth, the usual culprit behind pencil-thin stools is — you guessed it — a lack of dietary fiber. "Because you're constipated, you end up straining and instead of having the anal sphincter muscle open up and relax — which is what normally happens with a bowel movement — you're actually tensing up and clenching so much that the opening through which the stool comes is narrowed and that's going to narrow the stool."
If however, your find your stool is getting progressively narrower and smaller, you may want to consult your doctor, as it may be a sign that rectal cancer is causing the opening to narrow.
