A member asked:
I have been constipated for about a week or two now. (maybe fecal impaction?) yesterday morning i took some miralax. a couple hours later, i had a small amount of bm in chunks. then this morning it was a lot & it was liquid consistency. is this good?

All is good.: The large bowel function is to absorb liquids and to move along solids as a stool. It sounds like your bowel is functioning well. I would drink fluids to stay hydrated and gradually begin solids and to work into foods with fiber such as oatmeal.
