Incomplete evacuation is one of the diagnostic criteria for IBS, so this is not necessarily an abnormal symptom. You may want to up your intake of IF to see if you can push some of this waste out quicker.

It is possible that you are D not C. Many bowel movements a day irrespective of consistency is usually called pseudodiarrhea or hyperdefecation, not constipation. Pseudodiarrhea is often associated with increased frequency of small, solid stool, rectal urgency and accompanies IBS. It would be wise to talk to your doctor to figure out if you are IBS-D or IBS-C. If you are D and not C then you may want to decrease your insoluble fiber and increase your soluble fiber.

is hyperdefication ibs common? I get some small stool,usually in the morning..and good sized ones throughout the day. I tend to eat more SF..I've eat too much If before and my stools were really mushy and small. As for doctors in this town..none of them helped me except to diagnose me with ibs..I have no money to waste on paying to a doctor visit about ibs..It really sounds like hyperdefication..

I have similar issues and squirt a small amount of warm water up there using a plastic syringe - try this instead of using your fingers
