GI consultation: This may be dietary ; however, you should be evaluated by a GI expert. Miralax (polyethylene glycol) is a gentle laxative powder mixed with water and acts as an osmotic laxative. Never ignore a change in bowel habit-get examined ASAP!.

See a doctor: Most constipation is diet related. If it is prolonged or associated with blood in the stool though it can be a sign of more serious problems. Eating more fiber can be helpful, especially a cup daily of cooked dark green vegetables like kale or collard greens, but you may need testing to rule out tumors or polyps that could be causing some of the symptoms.
