Male, 29... Constipated and inconsistent stools. signs?

Postby constantlypated » Mon May 21, 2018 11:43 pm

29, M, 6'0", 195 pounds, no family history of colon cancer

Been having bad constipation issues past 1-2 months... doc prescribed me Miralax. Going to get a short scope soon recommended by the GI I saw...

My stool has been somewhat inconsistent but it has come out like this where it's very dark brown... I did eat tomato soup a day or two ago so maybe this is why it's kinda brown/red? But I think it's been this dark and stains the water on more than one occasion.

I'm sorry you're going through this! *hugs* I would ask the doctor for a colonoscopy instead of a sigmoidoscopy so that they can look at the entire colon. The prep should clear you out.*hugs*
