Abnormal gut motion: Without an actual examination, I cannot give specific medical advice on your particular health, but this is really common. basically, if the gut doesn't move well, the stool backs up and can follow this pattern. Increasing gut activity would be recommended. Medicines will strongly tend to make the gut dependent on them and not work without them. Opiates put gut asleep. bad. Fiber, exercise good.
