well i would say try to est soft foods my dad who eats like a pig i might add <positive_smiley> began having the same problem didnt lasts as long it began and before he knew it he was unble to go at all he waited 8 days before going to the hospital which i dont advise to find he had a tumor blocking his intestines from letting the stool pass they did a very minor surgery and gave him a better diet and hes been fine my guess is its possible you could have something like this but its not blocking completely only partly which could be the reason you cant go all the time a stool softener is a good idea rather than a laxative because it this is the problem you could stress the tumor and cause it to swell which would make the problem worse. and its only an idea many people will disagree with this but sometimes a cigarette can help as they make people poop but thats a once in a blue kinda thing and only if you have no other choice at that moment. either way this is something you should go to the doctor for they may want to go in with a camera i myself had tumers as a child which cause pain blood and blockage they were removed 3 times with lasers. do you have blood when you go and not to be gross but is your stool normal of more watery when it does happen bacause it you do for sure have a blockage it more likely you will have more watery stool i hope you feel better and hope this helped you to some level <positive_smiley>
is it possible to get constipated because your body produces too much feces? is there is a disease that causes this? . i've been dealing with ongoing constipation for over a year which has been worsening. it caused me to eat less overtime (recently i've been averaging 800 calories after exercise) yet if i'm not careful it feels like my digestive tract is completely clogged/full within a span of 24 hours. for the amount i eat this can't be normal! . i drink senna tea every night to keep it at bay (if i don't i end up with harsh laxatives. ) and fear for impaction. i've tried anything from fiber/water/prunes etc.
