You are having incomplete bowels. These get harder next day and therefore you find yourself constipated kind of although it is just something that stayed behind is now getting eliminated. Miralax starts working after three days. So have patience. Your bowels are dark because of too much iron. Do not have salad, almond butter, granola bar and chicken. Those are hard right now for your delicate stomach to digest. Fiber intake should not be more than 30-45 g (females-males). I think you are having too much of fiber. Your intestine keeps on pushing stool out which probably is not getting eliminated by you completely due to fear or some other psychological behavior. The daily recommended fiber itself should create two large bowels or three small bowels everyday. Otherwise it is incomplete bowel. Count your fiber intake and drink warm water. Don't worry miralax should get you back to normal. Always check the dietary intake on the labels and you will be surprised to see how much fiber, iron, calcium you are taking. It is scary actually. And then we complain why are the stools so hard?
