Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect!
Have you discussed this with a gastroenterologist?
Are you able to pin down foods that could cause soft stools?
Lactose intolerance can cause it as well as gluten sensitivity and others.
Do you have a problem with stool leaking?

Mentioned to family physicians. Hage very low iron & currently getting infusions. Wondering if there is a connection between anemia & bowel issue no blood in stool. Friend had similar issues & reduced/stopped eating foods with gluton

Stool leaks massively within hour of meal..I have no control. Even cut through in shower as if sphincter muscle not working
