Prucalopride also had a positive effect on stool frequency, feeling of complete evacuation, and total gut transit time, but the differences were not statistically significant compared with placebo.
Zinc supplementation reduced the mean duration of diarrhea by 19.7% but had no effect on stool frequency or stool output, and increased the risk of vomiting.
Coppicing had no adverse effect on stool mortality but significantly increased the number of stems per stool from 2.0 to 3.3.
The results of our systematic review suggest that zinc supplementation reduced the mean duration of acute diarrhea by approximately 20%, and persistent diarrhea by 15 30%, but had no significant effect on stool frequency or stool output.
The dilutional effect of watery stools could have prevented C. difficile from being isolated from calves with diarrhea, or C. difficile may not be a primary pathogen in calves.
The results clearly demonstrated that AEtLP has laxative effects, including elevation of stool and urine volumes and the recovery of histological changes induced by Lop in the transverse colon.
The same thickening complex was added to en extensive hydrolysed CMP (casein) based formula and had similar beneficial effects on normalization of stool consistency as well as a decrease of regurgitation in infants with CMPA [ 21].
To reach their conclusions, committee members -- unpaid volunteers generally drawn from academia -- have waded through thousands of pages of studies on fat, heart disease, television watching, obesity and the effect of fiber on stool weight.

We examined the laxative effect of propolis on stool frequency by administering orally an ethanol extract of propolis (EEP) or a water extract of propolis (WEP) at 10, 50, 100, or 500 mg/kg to normal mice.
Among the curcumin-treated subjects, three withdrew in the 2 gm/day curcumin group (two due to gastrointestinal side effects of black stools and diarrhea, one due to subsequent difficulty swallowing the pills), and two subjects withdrew in the 4 gm/day curcumin group (one due to diarrhea and one due to difficulty swallowing the pills).
