incomplete bowel movement problems

im 19yrs old. before a year and a half ago i had perfectly regular bm's. Now i get the urge to go and everything gos fine at first then mid-way through, my bowel movement just quits. Its emmbarasing but the stool like breaks off and even though theres stool right about to come out, it wont, no matter how hard i try, it leaves me feeling very uncomfortable like something stickin out my butt(litteraly). My stool isn't dry so taking fibre made it worse. I've had strectoscopy(?), mri, blood tests and several gastroentoligist(doctor) visits. And they found nothing wrong. im currently taking nelnorm which gives me diarrhea the first couple days of taking then once i've taken it for 2+ days it doesn't help at all.                 Somebody PLEASE HELP thanks

I also have this problem of incomplete evacuation and have now been diagnosed with a rectocele and a intussusception where the bowel telescopes in on itself making it impossible to go to the toilet.
I had a proctogram and a barium enema and a sigmoidoscopy to find out what my problem was and I am waiting now for an operation to cure the problem.
Maybe speak to the doctor about a proctogram as this shows how well the bowel empties and what if anything stops evacuation.

Maybe a little late. But try squatting when going to the bathroom. Helps me a bit when I get those dry and incomplete bowel movements.

Not just raising your knees and stuff, full out squatting. You can look it up on the net how you do it :)

Something that has helped me a lot with this problem is Charcocaps (activated charcoal).
I take them several times a day.  You can buy them OTC at CVS or Walgreens.  There seems to be a relationship between this problem and intestinal gas,
