How am i constipated?

davidparker12

I've been constipated over the past 3 months And i only go for a poo around once every 3-4 weeks if I'm lucky.. The doctor's and chemists I go to see can't seem to find anything wrong with what I'm eating which may cause the problem.. I mean On an average day I eat anywhere from 40-50g of fibre a day... all from complex carbs (brown rice,wholewheat pasta,oats) and I eat healthy fat's and plenty of vege's and meats... now I also have been taking lactulose solution twice daily and have still not been... currently taking every medication going and the strongest of stuff and my bowls still won't move.. what would you recommend?

I eat 6 meals a day, drink at least 3 litre's of water a day, exercise quite a lot. what is going on?

I would recommend seeing a medical specialist. A bowel motion every 3-4 weeks ??

See your doctor if you experience an unexplained onset of constipation or change in bowel habits, or if symptoms are severe and last longer than three weeks. Also seek medical care if you experience any of the following signs or symptoms, which might indicate a more serious health problem:

Bowel movements occurring more than three days apart, despite corrective changes in diet or exercise
