A member asked:

Do i need to get tested? i move my bowels 2-3 times a day, but still feel an urge to evacuate / incomplete emptying. on the bristol scale, i am usually type 1, and feel a coarse sensation when emptying. 2020 colonoscopy showed no irregularities?

It could be functional. Try regulating your diet, take fiber eg psyllium, adequate water, exercise and a mid laxative as needed. If not better in a few weeks pl get re-evaluated.

A feeling of incomplete evaluation is often a sign of irritable bowel syndrome. Before going through a bunch of testing, I would consider a trial of increasing the fiber in your diet and perhaps even taking fiber supplements for several weeks. Be sure to hydrate well while doing so. Good luck.
