I wonder if proctoclyss enema will be a better choice.
There is no harm in trying.
Good luck!

unfortunatley, I have had several impactions in my lifetime because of IBS, the best way and the fastest way is to get a enema for 2 dollars at the store. It's fast relief so you don't have to wait on laxatives. Laxatives could give you diarrhea which may only move around the impaction. Then I would take a laxative to flush out any stool in the high bowel. Then afterwards I would take a daily fiber supplement like fiber-lax. It helped me greatly. I now go 2-3 times a day. Your bowels doesn't become dependent on them either. However, if none of the home methods work, go to the ER, they may have to manually remove it. But the enema works almost every time.

Go to the drug store and ask for the one in the glass green bottle. Its 99cents, no side effects and it will blow out anything. Ask pharmacyst.
