Alright, here's an awkward topic but I need advice/insight

Oh my gosh, you need to go girl, your body is toxic with that stuff in you. Reject medications and go the natural route and drink magnesium citrate. A great brand is Natural Calm by Natural Vitality. You can check them out on the web to find a location near you where you can buy it. You make it with hot water and drink as a tea about an hour before bedtime (this usually allows you enough time to pee before you lie down to sleep) you will sleep like a baby and in the morning, you should poop no problem. I generally use 1 1/2 tsps. of the regular Natural Calm but have used 3 tsps. I believe the directions say you can use up to 3 tsps. twice a day. You'll kow if you've used to much if you rstool gets too loose then you just know to back off a little. Try using it every night until you feel regulated. It's not harmful and so good for you in so many ways. Like I said check out the website.

Looking at your food diary, it seems rather low on the fibre side. Flax seed meal is a good idea, so would a bran cereal. I use President's Choice Fibre 1st which has 13 grams of fibre for 1/2 cup. Another item I've just started using not that long ago, which really seems to help, is from the health food store called Schinoussa Sea Vegetables. I mix it into a smoothie each morning. Something to mention though, is to gradually increase your fibre, as too much too soon can have the opposite effect. And then there also is the almighty water to help flush the system. But the recommendations to see your doctor are also a really good idea, especially if none of the above works.

OK, "normal" is food in, food out...so a few hours after each meal.
You may have subluxated lumbar/sacrum (lower part of your spine), this area controls your bowel. Only a Chiropractor can fix that.
OR
Gastropariesis (slow emptying of the stomach), but your bowels would still move at least every 3 days.
Partial blockage, or telescoping could be other reasons, but all would need a GI MD to diagnose.

Sennakot is an OTC med, natural stimulant.
Colace is an OTC med, softens the stool (if taken on a regular basis).

Good luck, but go see a GI (gastrointestinal) MD soon.

But what you are describing ISN'T normal and you should have it checked out. NOT by an OB/GYN... a gastroenterologist!

Start either place. Colon cancer is even less common than ovarian or cervical cancer in a 25 year old.

Try a magnesium vitamin supplement. Works like a charm!

I've struggled with constipation since I was a baby (according to my mother). Lately I have been going every day or every other day for the most part, but it is not uncommon for me to go 5 days between bowel movements. Usually I am not that uncomfortable until the last day or so and then it is horrible. When I do go I have to go when I have to go. No waiting and it will often clog the toilet. So embarassing! I take Miralax and stool softeners, drink lots of water, and eat fiber rich foods.

I would definitely see another doctor. Trying the Miralax and stool softeners could help but I think you need to make sure there are not other problems first.

My son and I were having issues i wouldn't let us go this long without going to the restroom but i tweaked our diets and was quick to find out we are lactose intolerant. Dairy in quantity helps clogs up the pipes bad. The cleaner we eat the less problems we have. I also had to get him some children's probiotics to help get him regular. flax actually stops us up as well but loosens my husband and daughter. The body is such a funny thing. I always try to go natural before having to get prescriptions. good luck to you that would make me rather grumpy!

You're going to hear a lot of: eat more fiber. That may be it. Or it could be something else. Consider an elimination diet to see if something triggers your constipation.

It could be wheat/gluten and all the grains you eat.

Check with a GI doc.

I've actually passed out from having too much stuff backed up. Woke up in the morning with a sore abdomen, thought it was from my awesome ab workout the day before, went to go and BAM I fell on the floor. My mom rushed me to the ER and they found out I was very very backed up. Had to take an enema to get it all out. It was horrible.

Go and see someone. It was through an ultrasound they could tell what was wrong.

Oh I totally feel your pain. I have been like this basically my whole life. My doctor is always saying eat more fiber and such but I know that it doesnt always help. I also have a thyroid problem so that also contributes to my issue. I'm not sure if your thyroid is fine but if you have already been diagnosed with something in that area it might have a bit to do with it. I dont think that it is something you need to worry about though if that is the only issue. I know how uncomfortable it is though. Alot of people tell me to drink coffee or something because it works for them. Maybe that will help you? I wish I could help you but I myself can't seem to get a hold of it either. Good luck and I hope you feel better soon!
