No. See a good GI doc who can set you up on a good program to alleviate your symptoms. In the meantime roughage in diet, adequate water, OTC stool softener and laxative like psyllium will be helpful. Hope you do well.

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!
