A member asked:
What should i do if stool feels stuck when using the bathroom? i took milk of magnesium last night. its still like this today. should i try a enema if no movement soon?

For this episode, an enema may resolve the issue. for the long term- 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
