Loose Stool

Every morning a few hours after waking I have a large mushy stool like cow pat with medium urgency. No pain and i've tried numerous probiotics and diets / cutting things out. Problem is worse when at home and I don't think I've had a solid stool for a number of years now. Any advise would be appreciated

Sounds like you have a normal bowel pattern but you want the stools to be more formed. This might be accomplished by dietary changes, e.g. reducing carbohydrates and caffeine. You could also try an antidiarrheal like imodium at bedtime. Probiotics don't help. I would need to know more about your diet and daily activities to advise further.
