A member asked:

When is constipation a sign of something serious? i have been constipated since 5 days. i have bowel movements everyday, but i feel like i can't empty everything out. soft stools. i just feel like stool is always stuck inside. is this concerning?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not concerning: If you have BMs daily, you are not constipated. Incomplete evacuation suggests you need more fiber from your diet so the stool will be better formed. You can use bran fiber(Metamucil), methycellulose(citrucel),,or foods such as bran cereals, broccoli , cabbage, and the like to provide fiber. Good luck
