I would start: with HYDRATION. Hard bowel movements are in art due to low water content,,The large bowel REMOVES water so you have to overcome that "system" The next rule is start from BELOW a FLEETS enema can begin the process. If this is a chronic problem you may have IBS-C (Irritable Bowel-Constipation) or "chronic constipation" There is SPECIFIC TREATMENT for this! Hope this helps Dr Z
