"I always have pain in the lower abdomen and difficulty passing stools?"

Yes, for constipation issues, taking PEG-3350 (LAX-A-DAY, Restoralax, or other brands) can help soften the stools. It is a tasteless and odorless powder that can be diluted in a small amount of any liquid and consumed once a day as needed. Additionally, increasing fiber intake (fruits, vegetables, whole grains, etc.) and staying hydrated can also help soften the stools. Keeping a journal of your diet, activities, and symptoms for the next 4 to 6 weeks can help identify potential causes. It is important to stay consistent with this journal to track any patterns that may emerge.
