A member asked:

How can i improve bowel movement if i poo every 2/3 days. what could be the explanation of this?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Constipation: I would recommend a diet high in fiber from vegetables. Make sure that you drink 6-8 glasses of water daily. You may need a stool softener at times or a gentle laxative such as miralax (polyethylene glycol). Avoid harsh laxatives such as senna as they can cause the bowel to become habituated to them.
