Unformed, sticky stool that adheres to the toilet bowl is associated with numerous factors. The most common cause is indigestion; if the spleen and stomach are relatively weak, consuming excessive amounts of greasy or hard-to-digest foods may lead to this condition. It may also result from organic intestinal disorders—such as ulcerative colitis—or from impaired digestive function following cholecystectomy (gallbladder removal).
