Constipation: Sometimes when you are having irregular bowel habits you will get a loose stool intermixed within a time of constipation. First, is this bout of constipation new for you or have you always been a bit constipated? Have you changed your diet that would have caused this? I would try increasing fiber with something like benefiber first, just a teaspoon or two a day to see if that helps. If no see MD
