A member asked:

Can you have a fecal impaction and still have a normal bowel movement once a day (while taking miralax)?

No, by definition: If you have a fecal impaction, that means you are not having any bowel movements, because the impaction is in the way. After treatment, the bowel movements should return, and you no longer have an impaction.
