Hello, every time that i poop, it never seems like i can get rid of all of the poop. what should i do besides using laxatives?

Bathroom hygiene : You could also try using a bathroom assist stool which places you in a crouching position when defecating. This allows for easier passage of feces. It is also safe to use miralax (polyethylene glycol) or generic equivalent on a daily basis. If one dose is not adequate you can safely increase to two or even three per day.
