Specializes in Internal Medicine

Constipation is the: most likely cause.Try a dose or two of Milk of Magnesia (magnesium hydroxide). Add more fiber to your daily diet to avoid this in the future.A bowl of Raisin Bran every morning might do the trick.Otherwise,take a dose of Metamucil every day.Good luck.
