Why Does Stool Stick to the Toilet Bowl?

Sticky stool adhering to the toilet bowl may be caused by chronic gastritis or acute gastroenteritis.

1. Chronic Gastritis: Chronic gastritis may result from irregular eating habits over a long period or from overeating and binge eating. Symptoms include decreased appetite, weight loss, abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting. Additionally, it can lead to sticky stool adhering to the toilet bowl. Treatment may involve medications such as Omeprazole Enteric-coated Capsules and Magnesium Aluminum Carbonate Tablets, taken under a doctor's guidance.

2. Acute Gastroenteritis: Acute gastroenteritis may be caused by consuming contaminated food or excessive intake of cold and spicy foods. Symptoms include nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and diarrhea. In severe cases of diarrhea, there may be sticky secretions in the stool, resulting in sticky stool adhering to the toilet bowl. Treatment may involve medications such as Changyanning Granules and Compound Crane's-bill Herb Gastroenteritis Tablets, taken under a doctor's guidance.

During treatment, alcohol consumption should be avoided to prevent worsening of symptoms.
