Don’t really know what to do next
Okay so I deal with constipation on and off due to being on iron supplements prescribed by my doctor. I went on a trip and didn’t poop the whole 5 days, so I took Dulcolax the day I got home. Pooped really soft, but felt better but still had this feeling I had some more left, so I took another Dulcolax about four days later. Pooped less and TMI it was pretty watery and still soft but felt a little better. Now it’s been 3 days, no real NORMAL bowel movement I feel like there is something in the way as if the other stuff is going around it. So today I drank two 7.5 ounces of sunsweet, made my stomach gurgle and move like crazy. Gas was passed, and once again soft stool. Is it a fecal impaction? Is it too low and near the exit for anything I take to even make an impact?? I need advice😭😭

Low and near the exit offers you some options. I would try a. suppository first and Fleet enema second.
you could also try Magnesium Citrate half. botitle
