A member asked:
Why does overeating create constipation in ibs??
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Constipation: IBS-C will worsen with high fiber intake in excess.Suggest a trial of Miralax (polyethylene glycol) for 10 days and evaluate response after 10 days. If still symptomatic, I would suggest a consult to evaluate for changes in medicines and diet evaluation
