OK: As long as you are regular, that is good. Increase your fluids in your diet and fiber and that can help improve your "backed up" feeling. Fiber is good for bowel stability, but too much may constipate you as well. Play detective and learn the foods that back you up, then only ea them in moderation. Always stay well hydrated and that will help bowel regularity. Best wishes.
