Lumpy Stool

Hey all smile

So quick question. We have all experienced lumpy stool symptomatic of constipation. However, has anyone ever experienced stool that starts out lumpy on one end and then, as part of the same stool, becomes normal and smooth?

Can a single piece of stool start out looking lumpy from constipation but then after a 2-3 cm, look perfectly normal?

I have been experiencing this more frequently. My doctor has me on Mirilax and an increased fiber diet.

Cheers!

    I’d say the lumpy stool would be what your body naturally processed and dropped to be expelled then as you took the Miralax and more water entered the colon became more  hydrated/normal per say.  Does this make sense?

      That does make sense, yes. The whole thing seemed strange because I have had lumpy/hard stools before but never a single piece of stool that was lumpy/hard on one end and seemingly normal on the other lol. Oh well smile
