A member asked:

I have severe constipation been taking miralax per doctor for the past four days.. yesterday i felt stool and when i used the bathroom only a little ball came out.. i had to use a suppository.. after about an hour i had a very hard and painful bm?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

If this is new onset constipation a colonoscopy is in order. Otherwise drinking adequate fluids daily, eating fiber or fiber supplements, stool softeners like colace&daily exercise are recommended. If you have no urge for BM's, taking a daily bowel stimulant like senokotS according to instructions should help. Old fashioned prune juice as needed still works for most people. Avoid laxative habit.
