A member asked:
Had no bm for a week, finally succeeded w glycerin enema 4days ago.still no bm since then. nauseous & tried going but only alot of brown mucusy stuff?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Constipation: Recommend increasing fiber and fluid intake as well as activity. The brown mucus could be leakage around constipated stool. Could also try miralax (polyethylene glycol). If symptoms persist you need medical evaluation.
