Is it considered constipation if you move your bowels only once a day and it's just a bit and feel like you could do more, but more doesn't come out?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes.: Try miralax, (polyethylene glycol) or prune juice or magnesium citrate. Also exercise and drink 8 glasses of water a day. 7
