I have a recurring problem of having incomplete bowel movements for maybe a few days, then it's normal for a few days, then back to abnormal... I've tried enzymes, senna tea, prune juice, and nothing seems to work. Also, any dietary changes I've done really seem to have no effect, so I don't know how much major dietary suggestions would do... Just now it was about a whole week with incomplete bm's, so I went the extreme route and used an enema, and nothing happened within immediate use, which I know is wrong. The next morning I had a somewhat more normal bm, but the fact that the enema didn't work immediately is wrong, right? It said on the box that if the product doesn't do what it's supposed to that I should go to a doctor, cuz it could indicate a more serious condition.
Should I go to a doctor? Or just lay off any digestive aids for a while? I know all the facts about avoiding consistent use of laxatives, so maybe I should just see if my body fixes itself? Regardless, what are the causes for this recurring problem?
Thanks for your help.
