Question
My toilet is all ways to soft, what can I do to make it more hard . I eat the same things as my wife but she says her toilet is normal . Is my toilet like this because my neck is broken at C8 and have to use a wheel chair ?.  

Answer
Hi Peter,
Thanks so much for your question.

Unfortunately, most spinal cord injuries have either problems with stools that are too loose or constipation.

My suggestion is to eat a balanced diet with plenty of fiber. Although loose stools can be embarrassing, constipation can lead to serious health problems.

If you have any more questions, please feel free to ask me anytime.

Thanks again,
John McKinzie
