A member asked:
Hello i was wondering if it was possible to poop solid stool while having a fecal impaction? im having constipation i pooped today after 2 days but i feel like i have blockage?

Impaction by its definition means there is nothing passing. It is possible to have dilated large bowel with residual "Dead Logs" of fecal debris that newer stool moves around to empty. A complete fecal evacuation accomplished with an x-ray called a barium enema can both visualize and remove retained stool.

Agree with Dr. Ferguson. for constipation - You may take a fiber laxative like Metamucil and drink enough water daily so that your urine is colorless. For the long term you may try to increase your intake of fiber foods. Consult this site for fiber foods. http://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/nutrition-and-healthy-eating/in-depth/high-fiber-foods/art-20050948 Wish you good health!
