Gone from constipated to having explosive diarhhea and now small chunks of soft still that is difficult to pass ! what can cause this ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Constipation: When having severe constipation it might be possible to experience bouts of some diarrhea. Try to hydrate well( drink plenty of water) and eat high fiber diet. If no response laxatives are an option, but if developing significant abdominal pain and worsening symptoms in general then it is time to get checked.
