After almost 6 months of constant Bristol Scale #1 BMs, but no constipation, I started drinking non-sugar kefir (available at most supermarkets in dairy section). Kefir has a mother-load of active ingredients not found in yogurt. It only took a few days, but it solved my problem, and I am back to “normal.”
I had a colonoscopy in March to rule out issues, and nothing significant (anatomically) was discovered, so I felt my problem must be coming from my gut flora. While you wait for your office visit, be sure to eat healthy (no to low sugar), and you could try some non-sugar kefir. Good luck. However, my problem did not involved the most common constipation symptom: motility. I was always “regular” but all my stools were hard, small, round pellets. I thought I was morphing into a rabbit.
