Making the world better, one answer at a time. Grainy, sandy looking stools may be caused by a number of issues. If you suffer from Irritable Bowel Syndrome, or Crohn's disease, it may be those diseases causing your malformed stools. Other issues are too much fiber, infections, fatty foods, and more.
Stools that are hard may also be the consequence of an inadequacy of dietary fiber in the diet. Other causes include pregnancy, medication, digestive disorders such as IBS and Crohn's disease, and medical conditions such as hypothyroidism.
