Digestion Track help
I need some advice. THIS IS VERY TMI!
About once or twice a week I feel constipated and Ill sit on the toilet and get some out and after about 5 mins passing and then after that I have cramps and get almost diarrhea.
This is now the only way I poop.
I drink lots of water and I exercise (but could do more).
Any suggestions? Should I be taking fiber? Or a stool softener? Or something?

I'd try adding some benefiber and/or miralax every day. But if it continues after that, I'd talk to your doc. Sometimes when people seem to be both constipated and have diarrhea, it can mean a partial bowel obstruction. I've been doing miralax daily for a little over a week now and I poop almost every day now and very easily. I think it's wonderful stuff!
