A member asked:
Do i have diarrhea( i spelled that wrong) because i was constipated for 4 days? or its not the reason?

Yes!: Consequence of chronic constipation. Need to be very aggressive with management of your constipation. Need to continue your meds till you are regulated , soft easy and three times a day! best to discuss this with your physician, to rule out other causes of constipation like hypothyroidism
