A member asked:
I've had impacted feces back to back in the past 3 weeks, removed through enemas & laxatives. doc recommends fibre supplements but it makes it worse?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
He might not have: heard about a new drug Linaclotide for that. Also, if you are on narcotics, fiber won't help but newer drugs like relistor would be very helpful
