Do any of you experience a pretty constant urge to go? For me I always have incomplete evacuation, and discomfort after every meal. My stools are broken apart into many pieces and appear flat. It seems as though my stool get's all seperated through my bowels so there's always pieces in my lower abdomen/rectum triggering the urge to go. Sometimes that urge is weak, sometimes it's stronger. Sometimes my bowel movements are loose, other times I feel more constipated. Quite often I need to strain, at least towards the end of a bowel movement, as little pieces get stuck and there's not enough bulk for them to be pushed out easily. I get some relief after a bowel movement, but the urge to go creeps back in shortly after.
Do you have ibs? Hmm you need to find out if you do. If your bowels have altered then speak to your doctor.
i answered this in one of your previous posts- if your stool is always in small pieces you need more soluble fibre in your diet to bulk the stool out. this will mean larger stools are passed and should eliminate that feeling of bits left behind.
Most of the time, I don't have any urge to go at all and this can go on for up to two weeks. When I do go, it comes out mainly in bits and pieces. Very occasionally it comes out in one piece.
