Lots of veg. and making sure to not completely eliminate starchy carbs from my diet seems to keep things running smoothly.

I don't know which version of ancestral you prefer, or how you handle dairy, but yogurt or kefir frequently work against constipation.

Plenty o' water. If you have to push hard and painfully to get desiccated poop, you are dehydrated. If this is your norm, your colon will eventually take sides against the rest of you. Not going to go into details here about "perfect bowel movement" (Google) but you can be sure pellets ain't the goal. Point: if one is not having a very good bowel movement at least once a day, one might consider finding out why. Unless being a human poop compactor is, like, one's goal?

If not: Fermented foods. Foods with high enzyme values; fresh sprouts a great source. Probiotics.

Eat more cabbage!

I would add some fermented foods to your diet and increase your saturated fat intake a little to lube the intestinal track. Those two things helped me out.

Make sure you're getting enough potassium, as it helps water stay in the bowels. Drinking too much water can make you loose potassium too so you should drink to thirst. The body makes seven litres of digestive juices a day so the water you drink actually has little effect on the moisture of your bowel movements.

I've had pellet poops for years, and found vitamin c and magnesium to be useless but sauerkraut and potassium helpful. The liquid from sauerkraut is really good for softening stools too.

Avoid dairy as those tend to be good for stopping diarrhoea, fermented vegetable juices are the thing for constipation.

Probiotics are also good. Pellet poops suggest a lack of gut bacteria. I'm guessing you don't fart much either?

I highly recommend a book called 'Fibre Menace', www.gutsense.org. It discusses how the bowel works very well and how to fix problems such as pellet poops.

I have the same thing- its not constipation, it's just "rabbit poo"! I still poop regularly so I'm not really worried about it. My preliminary research thought it might be due to liver qi stagnation. Stress and anxiety are probably the major culprits!

I suggest enzymes. They've totally helped me with pregnancy-related rabbit poo. ;)

Had the same problem for years. Now its gone (I still have digestion issues though (burping and bloating). It was magnesium pills, epsom salt baths, no liquid dairy at all -including ice cream, no pork-turkey-chicken that had been fed soy, coconut oil, and coffee every morning. But the biggest fix for me was working to correct my low thyroid. (which can slow you down big time). I am hoping that continuing to improve in this area will show improvement towards my other digestive trouble.
