Suggest Treatment For Irregular Bowel Movements

am having trouble moving my bowels...very little comes out.....some days I move a little other days only a very small amt...like 4 marbles. this has been going on for several months now. Am away from home, called my GI dr and he suggested miralax 3 x a day. Am afraid to do this as I feel that something is blocking the normal passage of my stool.
