Normal bowel movements are altered resulting in an increase in :

1. Frequency of defaecation
2. Fluid content in the stools causing a loose consistency. (NB The water content in normal faeces is 60-80%)
3. Volume of faeces produced - this is a combination of water content and unabsorbed nutrients.
