Constipated, Took Ducolax. Very Little Stool. What Can Help
I recently became constipated, and took Ducolax but all that cam out was a small amount of stool . It was kinda thick and afterwards only shreds of stool and water from the water I had been drinking. Later that day I thought I was still constipated and took an enema. All that can out was the enema and shredded stool. Later I had yellow diarehha and nothing came out. I Had black eyed peas and a green onion for dinner before I used the restroom. After the diarehha my butt has been burnin. I tried to go today, nothing. I m 14 and very worried, but could it just be my bowels faking me out? And maybe there is no stool to pass?
