How Can Fecal Impaction Be Treated?
After a Miralax cleansing, My X-Ray shows a large amount of stool in my colon. My doctor referred to the calcified phlebotomist as hard pieces of stool. I have gone through 10 months of SIBO treatment and was hoping that cleansing out the colon would help. Why is this happening and is another heavy dose of Miralax in order? YYYY@YYYY

Hi,
Consult a gastroenterologist and get evaluated.
Include more fiber-rich food in your diet.
You can take laxatives like Lactulose for smooth bowel movements.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
