Hi,I am Dr. Subhankar Chakraborty (Gastroenterologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Having some trouble with my BM s. I have IBS with constipation and recently saw a dr that put me on a regimine of Miralax and fiber gummies. It worked at first but then stopped. We upped the miralax to a full dose every night and now my stools are very soft and not coming out all at once, just a little at a time. It is very bothersome and I hope to get my consistency bulked up so I can have a real BM again. (cleared out) What do you suggest for a quick bulking so I can go easily and quickly?
-Drink more water. -Eat more fiber, especially soluble, non-fermentable fiber. -Exercise more. -Drink coffee, especially caffeinated coffee. -Take Senna, an herbal laxative. -Eat probiotic foods or take probiotic supplements.
