How To Extremely Soften Hard Stool To Facilitate Defecation While On Epilepsy And Pain Disorder Medication Along With Dulcolax?

i m 31 years old... i take around 3 hrs to completely clear my stomach...cause the stool is too hard and doesnt pass through the rectum..softer ones pass easily ..its only the harder parts of stool...that takes time...my food intake is normal...nothing heavy...but i have probs eating vegetable and food thats hard to digest..as i am on lots of medications...for epilepsy from last 10 yrs and panic disorder from last 4 yrs...my disgestive system too has slowed down.. i am taking dulcolax now for passing stool..it does soften stool but it still takes time and is frustrating...plz suggest me something so i can atleast shorten the time i spend in the loo..and hopefully get all my stool out in lesser time.

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
you have became too much conscious for defecation, moreover you have some functional condition too, now you have to leave these things, and also you have to stop taking the Dulcolax, taking laxative makes the condition more worse, eat more fibber diet, drink plenty off water, have schedule for defecation, and then you suppose to go for it even if you do not have such reflexes still you have to go in and sit there for at least 30 minuet, do not exert the force be relax there, no matter if you do not pass the stool, you can try Isabgol this is best stool softener and gives good result, keep your anxiety level nil, this will come around soon take care and have nice time.
