Why do i always get loose stools a day after being constipated ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Loose stool/constip: During constipation part of the stools become fermented from intestinal bacteria & it becomes loose , it usually comes out after the hard part of the stool, sometimes it leaks around it & causes soiling. I hope that helps answer your question. Try to control your constipation with high fiber diet, prune juice, plenty of fluids, you can also try miniral oil or miralax (polyethylene glycol). Good luck
