Granular stool during defecation may be caused by the following reasons: 1. Prolonged sitting, which may affect intestinal motility. 2. Possible dysfunction of the colon. 3. Possibly due to insufficient daily water intake. To prevent worsening symptoms such as granular stool, it is advisable to increase intake of dietary fiber-rich foods like celery and carrots.
