Does Miralax Cause small thin stools?

Star have you ever had a sitz marker test? When you say two weeks, do you mean you haven't gone in two weeks at all?

Its not uncommon to have narrow stools ect.. with IBS, some material goes through you faster then other material.

You should see a doctor right away, two weeks is way to long. That's not to scare you, but its a must as soon as possible.

"When Treatment Isn't Working
"Intractable" constipation means that the symptom does not respond to the treatments described above. Persons with intractable constipation may see a specialist for diagnostic tests. These may include…

•Transit time or colonic marker studies: A simple test that measures movement of material through the colon over time.
•Colonic scintigraphy: An imaging method to show how material moves through the GI tract.
•Endoscopy: Visual examination of the colon using a lighted tube (colonoscopy or sigmoidoscopy).
•Lower GI series or barium enema: X-rays of the colon and rectum.
•Defecography: An x-ray test to look at the behavior of the rectum and anus during attempts to defecate.

What is a sitz marker test?
A sitz marker test uses tiny 'markers' to test how fast food is moving through the intestines. It is most often used with patients who are suffering from chronic constipation, for example less than two bowel movements per week.

What happens during a sitz marker test?
Your doctor will give you a small capsule to swallow. This capsule contains small markers which will show up on x-rays and let the doctors track their progress through your intestines.

After several days you will asked to return to the doctor's surgery or hospital, and x-rays will be taken of your abdomen to see if any of the markers are left in your colon or whether they have all been expelled from the body.

The more markers you have left in your body, the slower your colon motility.

Star you need to go to a doctor, its important and you shouldn't put it off, no excuses. The school might be able to help or a free clinic. It is dangerous and you might have an obstrution or problem and they can become life threatening.

I think NO ONE can answer that and you should see a doctor, because what is happening to you needs to be check out right away. I am also not trying to be mean or anything, its more I care.

Don't just keep trying to self treat. The leading cause of misdiagnoses is self diagnoses.

Go to the doctor seriously.
