How Can Chronic Constipation Be Treated?
I am severely constipated. Even taking miralax twice a day now. Last month I had a colonoscopy, and it's not the first one; I also had one 5 years ago. Ever since the colonoscopy in November, I do not get the urge to move my bowels. I have gone just a little 2 times in a month. Should I be worried?
