IMPACTION: NO: IMPACTION means no stool passage. You likely have .IBS = irritable bowel syndrome constipation predominant .You need a full exam and blood work. Especial screen for H pylori . Also stool screen x 3 for occult blood /parasite/hpylori . I recommend a gluten free high fiber diet . Ie gutbliss.com and Wholeapproach.com. Also 64-80oz water. If symptoms persist a CT Scan may be needed.

Fecal impaction: I would think that you do not have fecal impaction however I would suggest you take a laxative such as Metamucil to try and get some regularity in your stool for mation
